Something like this got passing mention in Greg Bear's [1] book Moving Mars (1993) [2], under the name Legal Logic. The (human) Martians used it with AI assistance to formulate legislation for their newly independent society.

For those who don't know, Greg Bear was a well-known SF author who died less than a year ago. His passing was discussed here at the time [3] [4].

He was one of the authors that influenced my youth a great deal, and I particularly remember this aspect of Moving Mars as catching my imagination, so will be interested to read what Catala has to offer.
