Abstract: This paper focuses on some aspects of a mathematical model for the creation of legal values, still in progress. The cycle of axiological genesis is to be analyzed as composed of two phases: the pretention of the subject towards an object; the feedback of acknowledgment, qualifying and vesting the pretention. The synthesis of those two moments gives birth to a legal entitlement, associated with a certain axiological potential. Such entitlement can be challenged by another person, hence triggering an adjudication process. The engineering of the legitimacy to emit the feedback signal leads the way to social and political issues. As a conclusion for this paper, we call upon a new approach for the Economic Analysis of Law, applying economic methods, tools and criteria directly to legal values, and not just on economic values affected by law.
