- Equivalence-Preserving Rewriting
- Algebra and symbolic computation: factoring, expanding, simplifying, rewriting integrals into standard form — symbolic-equivalence rewrites scored by length, depth, or standard-form-ness. Natural-language paraphrase: meaning-preserving rewordings scored by clarity, register, or length; controlled-language editing for technical writing. Legal drafting: restating a clause to clarify, consolidate cross-references, or remove ambiguity without changing its legal effect; consolidation acts and uniform codes are large-scale instances.
This sourceStandard legislative-drafting manual covering consolidation, defined terms, cross-reference handling, and restating provisions while preserving legal effect — the discipline of unchanged-legal-effect rewriting.
