Law is implemented / enforced by humans. I see minimal evidence that humans are robust / consistent even in WHITE SWAN situations.

if I understand p vs np correctly, I think it applies here could we make a decision tree for every possible action and consequence codified into law? we could attempt to, but it won't help prevent edge cases unless we're able to simulate events faster than they can happen

It does, and you can’t. I suspect not without violating laws of thermodynamics inasmuch as information is the inverse of entropy Borges’ map etc

Yes. It is. However, a lot of people see Black Swans when what they've really got hold of is a plain old pigeon wrapped in a black sock and imitating a Swannish accent.

If you say, e.g. "Copyright law is ancient and doesn't work with this radical new business model where everybody just posts everything everywhere something something paradigm shift," that's not a Black Swan. It's not even a problem with the law. The business model is just bad.

"I came up with a way to allow people to infringe copyright at hitherto undreamed-of speeds" is not a Black Swan, nor is law is facing an Out Of Context Problem. It's like bank robbers upgrading from horses to cars. Bank robbery is still illegal. At most we need to buy cop cars.

To clarify, that's a rhetorical you, I'm not accusing anybody in this thread of anything. :) Also, I know that's a specific example. My point is not that legal Black Swans don't occur, it's that they are a lot less common than people just slapping a coat of paint on white ones.
