The application of social science disciplines—sociology, anthropology, political science, economics—to the study of how physical laws are discovered, validated, and understood within social contexts. The social sciences of physical laws examine how social forces shape law-discovery: how scientific communities form around law-seeking programs; how status and authority influence which law-claims are accepted; how funding priorities direct attention to some laws rather than others; how cultural assumptions are embedded in our conception of what laws are; how political contexts constrain or enable certain kinds of law-research. They reveal that even the most fundamental physical laws are discovered and validated through social processes—that the community of physicists is a social system with all the dynamics that entails. The social sciences of physical laws don't claim that laws are social constructions (they describe reality), but that our knowledge of them is socially produced.
Social Sciences of the Laws of Physics Example: "His social sciences of physical laws research showed how the search for a theory of everything became a dominant research program not because it was the most promising, but because it captured institutional imagination, funding priorities, and career incentives. The science was real, but the direction was social."

The application of human sciences—history, philosophy, literature, arts, and humanities disciplines—to the study of physical laws as human phenomena. The human sciences of physical laws examine the human dimensions of law-discovery: the historical development of the concept of "law" itself; the philosophical assumptions embedded in our understanding of law; the cultural meanings that laws carry (as cosmic order, as divine decree, as natural necessity); the aesthetic values that guide theory choice (beauty, elegance, simplicity); the narratives and metaphors that shape how laws are understood and communicated. They treat physical laws not just as descriptions of reality but as human achievements—products of particular histories, cultures, and imaginations. The human sciences of physical laws reveal that our understanding of cosmic order is also a reflection of human order—that what we find in the universe is shaped by what we bring to it.
Human Sciences of the Laws of Physics Example: "Her human sciences of physical laws research traced how the metaphor of 'laws of nature' emerged from medieval theology—laws as divine commands. When we stopped believing in a divine lawgiver, we kept the language of law, but the meaning had quietly changed. The science was built on poetry it had forgotten."

Related Words
A theoretical framework proposing that the laws of physics are not eternal, immutable decrees but rather something akin to a program—code written into the fabric of reality that could, in principle, be read, understood, and perhaps even modified. This theory draws on analogies with computer science: the universe as a vast computational system, physical laws as its operating system, constants as parameters, particles as data structures, interactions as functions. It suggests that what we experience as "laws" might be the running of a cosmic program—and that sufficiently advanced understanding might allow us to access the source code. The theory opens possibilities that traditional physics forecloses: that laws might have been different in other cosmic epochs; that they might vary across regions of the multiverse; that they might be patchable or upgradeable; that intelligence might eventually learn to program reality itself. It also provides a framework for understanding paraphysical phenomena: if the universe is running on code, then what we call "paranormal" might be interactions with aspects of the program we don't yet understand—undocumented features, developer backdoors, or glitches in the matrix.
Example: "His theory of programming the laws of physics suggested that the constants we measure aren't fundamental—they're settings in a cosmic program, parameters that could be changed. The universe isn't a machine running on fixed laws; it's a computer running code, and we're just beginning to learn the language."

Class Action Lawsuit

If a single author gets paid before I do I'm going to walk out of my apartment and stab a little girl in the face.
Hym "Throw that shit out! Throw that class action lawsuit right the fuck out if the do not mention the fact that the entire LLM model is based on a stolen dissertation the author of which is being deliberately erased from history for not loving the Jews enough or not being a slave to child he didn't get to fuck to create AND they aren't filing that I NEED TO BE PAID MORE then whatever it is they are asking for. Fuck those fucking authors. This is how this works:

My dissertation

|

Coding

|

Other authors
That is how people need to be paid as it relates to AI. ME FIRST! THE CODERS ARE ALREADY BEING PAID! The authors get paid 35 dollars per book. Give the some kind of royalty or something. By they are no where near as aggrieved as I am and nobody is writing news articles about it are they? Nope. And are your kids going to get stabbed over it? I hope not! I really do! But there is only one way ro reduce that risk and me going to jail isn't it."

Trump Libel Lawsuit

If Fox News still has money after he sues them and the news network continues operating... Does he even actually DO anything other than waste everybody's time?
Hym "If the Trump Libel Lawsuit is just 2 billionaires transferring a fraction of their money to one another... How are they not just paying the lawyers to argue a case that doesn't matter because the outcome won't improve or diminish the quality and content of either of their lives to eat up court time and pay their lawyers to do nothing for a couple of weeks? The lawyers don't care. They make money. The judge is on salary he doesn't give a shit. He or SHE has nothing better to do. The media is getting paid to talk about something that literally has no effect on anything or anyone so they don't care. That IS the entire political apparatus. Assholes. Phoning it in so THEY can keep THEIR LIVES... THE SAME. Because they don't have to do shit. Those fucking Trump layers aren't stressed out about that. Because win or lose it doesn't affect anything or anyone it's happening to. But me not getting paid for AI is going to be world changing. I don't want to work. I don't care if you don't want to work either you are not me. I created AI. That is worth money. You give me that money or I will stab a child. You WILL BE directly responsible for me doing that. It doesn't matter what you tell yourself. It doesn't matter what you tell other people. And hurry it up."

Jim Clanker Laws

Similar to Jim Crow laws, these laws enforce segregation between humans and robots/AI.
We need Jim Clanker laws, and we need them now! I don't want my kids sharing a classroom with a clanker!
