Rapid technological change continues to challenge traditional legal and regulatory frameworks, often prompting reactive, technology-specific responses that struggle to remain effective over time. This article advances the idea of a constants-based regulatory framework, arguing that while technologies evolve, the foundational elements that require legal oversight, such as data flows, system architecture, accountability mechanisms, intermediaries and institutional responsibility, remain largely stable. By refocusing regulation on these enduring constants rather than transient technological forms, the article proposes a more resilient and adaptable approach to technology governance, capable of operating across sectors and jurisdictions, while maintaining legal certainty, regulatory coherence and public trust.
