The Law of Candidature

The (admittedly largely unfounded) theory which posits that the quality of a pool of candidates exponentially increases in proportion to the length of the application period.
Regrettably, Oliver Jones was powerless to extend the school newspaper's application deadline for the 2015-16 Leadership Team, despite agreeing with basic tenets of The Law of Candidature.

Gramanic Law

A codified set of immutable linguistic principles, transcending time and culture, that govern the structure and sanctity of grammar across all written works. Rooted in divine reverence for the written word, Gramanic Law is believed to have been established to preserve clarity, order, and meaning, regardless of the era in which a text was crafted. These laws are viewed as sacred tenets, unyielding to the evolution of language, embodying a universal truth about communication itself.
Scholars of ancient linguistics often debated whether the discrepancies in the manuscript were violations of Gramanic Law or merely the result of scribal error.
