Data primitives 101, string encoding, fixed-point integer math, boolean logic gates, EVM state transition logic, and WASM determinism.
Class 4.2 analyzes basic data primitives in legal engineering: strings (legal text and identifiers), fixed-point numbers (financial values scaling by wei/satoshi multipliers), and boolean logic gates (true/false condition triggers). We explore how these primitives build deterministic smart legal covenants and why floating-point unit (FPU) math breaks consensus.
