“…Inter-systemic contracting can be distinguished from other means of contracting by the degree of human involvement in the process of contract construction. In every conventional means of contracting, through conventional letters, fax, telex (and even in not so conventional ones, as electronic mail), the human intervention always appears at the beginning of any deal (Almeida, 2000;Gentili, 2000; Thoumyre, 1999). However, in inter-systemic contractual relations the whole process of communication and contracting is "between applications" or "between agents" without any human intervention (Elias and Gerard, 1991).…”
