## [Introduction] Neural-Symbolic Offloading for Legal Reasoning: Core Value of the Amortized Intelligence Framework

This article introduces the Amortized Intelligence framework, which achieves low-cost (90% reduction) and high-consistency automated processing of legal rulings by translating legal texts into Deterministic Autonomous Contract Language (DACL) once. It combines the expressive power of neural networks with the deterministic advantages of symbolic systems.

## Background and Challenges: Two Major Bottlenecks of Traditional Legal AI

Legal texts contain a large number of computational clauses that require complex logical reasoning; although traditional Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) can describe clauses, production-level systems face two major issues: high reasoning error rates and high costs.

## Amortized Intelligence Framework: Detailed Explanation of the Neural-Symbolic Hybrid Approach

Core Idea: Use LLM to translate legal texts into **Deterministic Autonomous Contract Language (DACL)** (a typed graph intermediate representation) once. Subsequent rulings are executed based on the deterministic graph and generate visual audit trails. The technical architecture includes three components: 1. One-time translation layer (LLM to DACL); 2. Deterministic execution engine (precise reasoning with graph structure); 3. Audit trail system (visualized ruling records).

## Experimental Results: Comparison Between DACL Agents and Advanced LRM Baselines

Compared with baselines such as GPT-5.2 and Gemini 3 Pro, DACL agents achieve near-perfect consistency (alleviating the "reasoning cliff"), reduce computational costs by over 90%, and meet audit compliance requirements.

## Practical Significance and Application Scenarios

It brings a breakthrough to legal technology by converting expensive neural reasoning into one-time translation, and subsequent symbolic processing ensures reliability and low cost. Applicable scenarios: high-throughput contract review, strict audit compliance checks, and high-consistency legal ruling tasks.

## Conclusion: A Feasible Path for Neural-Symbolic Integration

Amortized Intelligence demonstrates a new path for the integration of neural networks and symbolic systems, providing a feasible technical solution for the practical deployment of legal AI.
