Abstract: Systems and methods for representing legal obligations, conditions, and other contractual specifications as a software framework are described. Systems and methods may include receiving initiation input; accessing an initial node including one or more logical structures and links to one or more tables of states and values; requesting initial input; receiving initial input; accessing at least one of the one or more tables of states and values to determine if a calculation is required; and performing a calculation based on the initial input from the user to determine an initial value or receiving an initial value from the at least one of the one or more tables of states and values. Subsequent nodes may be accessed until a final node is reached. A software framework may be compiled based on the calculations in each accessed node of the logical framework.
