The design space in which all [[legal eagle]]s fly. We all instinctively recognise [[space]], and fill it without a second thought — a [[legal eagle]] deplores a [[vacuum]], as the truism has it — and the information revolution has put into our hands the tools to wallpaper the very cosmos with words.

But the relationship between space and tedium has not, until recently, been explored. Pioneering jurisprudo-physicist  [[Otto Büchstein]] first proposed that it was not space, nor time, but ''[[tedium]]'' that was the constant in the legal universe, and his paper — six hundred and forty-three pages of it, needless to say, five hundred and ninety-seven of which were [[assumption]]s and [[qualification]]s — has opened a number of new subfields in the cosmology of the law.
