Hi Craig, thanks for joining this “community”. I’m more interested in hearing your thoughts on this question than trying to answer it right now — what do you mean by the term “rule”? Any contextual information would help me better understand the question. I sense some deep-rooted connection between the rules in the human world and those in the natural environment — perhaps the reason why you are asking about the source. I do think I understand why this is a fundamental question for you — the notion of rule is closely related to the notion of power, which in turn to that of energy, and energy is everything.
