1. Why can’t human logic and smart contract logic be equated?
Human logic is subjective and dynamic. Humans can change their minds, reinterpret, or cancel decisions based on certain conditions, emotions, or moral considerations. For example, someone may sign a contract and later regret it, then look for legal loopholes to cancel it.
Smart contract logic is deterministic and immutable. A smart contract runs on the blockchain with code that cannot be changed after being deployed. All instructions are executed exactly as coded, without interpretation, without emotion, and without compromise. If the condition is met, execution happens if not, the transaction fails. There is no middle ground.
Therefore, human logic cannot be equated with smart contract logic, because humans operate with flexibility, while smart contracts operate with absolute certainty.
2. Scientific explanation of smart contract logic so it can be understood by human reasoning
To understand smart contracts through a human perspective, we can use analogies from computer science and law:
Cryptography / Computer Science:
Smart contract logic is the same as *if-then statements* in programming. Example:
```
if (buyer sends 1 BNB) {
transfer NFT to buyer;
}
```
There is no negotiation. If the condition (buyer sends 1 BNB) is true, then the consequence (transfer NFT) will always happen.
Law:
A smart contract is a legal contract “enforced” by technology, not by a court.
If humans create a paper contract, it requires legal authorities to enforce it when disputes arise.
If the contract is created as a smart contract, execution automatically occurs according to the code rules, without the possibility of cancellation.
Thus, the scientific explanation is that a smart contract is deterministic logic based on code, executed by the blockchain network through consensus, where every node runs the same instructions without human interpretation.
