Generally, regulation is thought of as a constant that carries with it both a formative and conservative power, a power that standardises, demarcates and forms an order, through procedures, rules and precedents. It is dominantly thought that the singularity and formalisation of structures like rules is what enables regulation to achieve its aim of identifying, apprehending, sanctioning and forestalling/pre-empting threats and crime or harm. From this point of view, regulation serves to firmly establish fixed and stable categories of what norms, customs, morals and behaviours are applicable to a particular territory, society or community in a given time. These fixed categories are then transmitted onto individuals by convention, ritual and enforcement through imperatives of law (and technology) that mark certain behaviours as permissible and others as forbidden, off bounds. In this manner, regulation serves a programming (i.e., a calculable or determinable) purpose. It functions as a pro-active management or as a mastery of threats, risks, crimes and harms that affect a society and its security both in the future and in the present. Regulation for instance, will inscribe and codify what it determines to constitute crime or harm such as pornography, incitement of terrorism, extremist speech, racial hatred etc. These determined or calculated/calculable categories will then be enforced and regulated (e.g. through automated filtering) in order to ensure a preservation of public order within society. Drawing mainly from deconstruction, this article situates law and technologies within a wider ecological process of texts, speech and writing i.e., communication. In placing regulation within disseminatory and iterable processes of communication, this article complicates, destabilises and critiques the dominant position of determinability and calculability within the regulatory operations of law.

论法律与技术规制的不可判定性

一般而言，监管被认为是一种常数，它同时具有形成性和保守性两种权力，一种通过程序、规则和先例来标准化、划分和形成秩序的权力。人们普遍认为，规则等结构的单一性和形式化使监管能够实现其识别、逮捕、制裁和预防/预防威胁和犯罪或伤害的目标。从这个角度来看，监管的作用是牢固地建立固定和稳定的类别，即在特定时期内适用于特定领土、社会或社区的规范、习俗、道德和行为。这些固定的类别然后按照惯例传递给个人，通过法律（和技术）的命令来实现仪式和强制执行，将某些行为标记为允许，而将其他行为标记为禁止、越界。以此方式，调节服务于编程（即，可计算或可确定的）目的。它的作用是主动管理或掌握影响社会及其未来和现在安全的威胁、风险、犯罪和危害。例如，监管将记录和编纂它确定的构成犯罪或伤害的内容，例如色情、煽动恐怖主义、极端主义言论、种族仇恨等。这些确定或计算/可计算的类别将被强制执行和监管（例如通过自动过滤）以确保维护社会公共秩序。绘画主要来自解构，本文将法律和技术置于更广泛的文本、语音和写作生态过程中，即交流。在将监管置于传播和可迭代的传播过程中时，本文使可确定性和可计算性在法律监管运作中的主导地位复杂化、不稳定和批判。
