CATEGORY «LEGAL PROCESS» AS A DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPT «LEGAL RELATIONSHIP» IN THE CONTEXT OF RECURSIVE PARADIGM IN THE LEGAL REGULATION

In this article authors consider the possibility of developing the concept of «legal relationship» in the context of the recursive paradigm in the legal regulation, which was the result of an attempt to synthesize the general theory of law and the theory of formal systems. Synthesis of theories was carried out on the basis of the analysis of the sphere of legal regulation using the concept of «recursion». The result of this study was the category of «legal process» which is a consequence of the development of «relationship» concept in the modern general theory of law. It is suggested that use of the category of «legal process» will allow more fully and accurately describe the modern procedure of legal regulation. A number of concepts have been defined, the application of which within the framework of the «legal process» will contribute to the solution of tasks aimed at a qualitative increase in the volume and in the degree of accuracy of the legal regulation. The authors present for discussion the questions, the solution of which will contribute to the creation of theoretical basis for «immersion» of modern law in the virtual space.
