Respect the pause

When a friend is watching a live, pause-able sporting event in a separate location and says he has to pause said event, you must respect the pause and not spoil what has happened until he has confirmed seeing it.
Brad: Dude, did you see that touchdown, that shit was crazy!

Mike: What the fuck asshole, I'm driving home from the store! Respect the pause, man!!!

A framework for evaluating the plausibility and probability of phenomena that seem supernatural, paranormal, or otherwise beyond ordinary explanation—such as spiritual experiences with gods (dreams, visions, visitations), levitation when no one is watching, or other anomalous events. The law proposes that such phenomena should not be dismissed outright but evaluated along multiple dimensions: internal consistency (does the account make sense on its own terms?), external coherence (does it align with known facts?), source reliability (is the witness credible?), and explanatory power (does it explain what needs explaining?). The law also acknowledges that probability is not static—what seems impossible today may become plausible tomorrow as understanding expands. The Law of Plausibility and Possible Probability doesn't prove such phenomena real; it provides a framework for taking them seriously without requiring belief.
Example: "She'd had vivid dreams of a goddess for years—not hallucinations but experiences, real to her, transformative. Skeptics dismissed them as imagination. The Law of Plausibility and Possible Probability offered another view: internally consistent, externally coherent with her life, source reliable (her own experience), explanatory (it explained her peace). Not proof, but plausibility. She didn't need belief; she needed the space to consider that some things might be real even if unproven."

Don’t leave me on paused

This is when you are on FaceTime. Then someone yells at you when you accidentally go on Instagram and you leave them on paused. Because they need all the attention from you.
