the laws 

police, john law, gendarmes, troopers, 'officials', e.t.c.

'the laws' was used by warren beatty in the film 'bonnie and clyde' re: the appearance of the police.

this term is one of my personal favorites! it is short, sweet, somewhat ignorant, the truth; and generally brilliant! here indeed, DO come the laws!!

SHIT!, here come the laws!!

i was up on mcfoolsley mountain, trying to 'crack a piece' when here come the laws!!

The Laws of Hipsterism 

1) One's goal shalt always be in contradiction with one's actions (the Irony Law). The is the foundation of all ye hipsterism, and the law that binds all other laws.

2) Nothing shalt be practical, a hipster shalt do everything for appearances.

2) Finally, a hipster shalt never claim to be a hipster.

Ye Application of The Laws of Hipsterism:

#1
Normal Person: Hey you want to go shopping with me?
Hipster female: No, I don't care about how I look.

(Hipster Female shalt then traverse to ye Olde Thrift store where thou shalt spend one full half day looking for garments)

#2
Normal Person: Hey! I like this artist. Their music is good!!

(Thou buys/downloads album to listen to)

Hipster Guy: *No inner monologue, for hipsters do not think consciously for themselves.

(Thou buys Vinyl to show ye others that thou purchases Vinyls.)

#3
Hipster One: I hate hipsters.

Hipster Two: Me too! God! I'm going to write an entry in Olde English and send it into Urban Dictionary that professes my hate for hipsters!!

Hipster One: Right on dude!! Hey you want to go to the thrift store afterwords to go buy records?

Hipster Two: Sorry man, but I can't I'll be pretty busy writing that entry and my fixed gear bike's in the shop right now.

Hipster One: It's cool dude...I...I love you.

Hipster Two: I...I love you too.

The Laws of Nature

(short for the laws, order and balance of nature)

In godspeak (gods' slang), science: the way nature (beings, plants, environments, weather, the cosmos) naturally works and the limits gods have to control it, so that the universe can function in an orderly manner (not chaotic), according to divine law.

Basically, the way science and the gods' power interact with, influence and limit each-other to keep the cosmos functioning, in accordance to the laws of the godly realm.

(e.g. Zeus, why can't you just make lightning appear whenever we want?

Because that would disrupt the laws of nature-creating mass hysteria and confusion among humanity.

The laws of nature were created by the gods for the order, balance and function of the cosmos.

They are an upmost divine law & breaking them will strictly face dire consequences!)

Apophenia/Pareidolia of the Laws of Physics Theory

The most radical extension, proposing that the fundamental laws of physics themselves (like gravity or quantum mechanics) might be products of these cognitive biases on a cosmic, human scale. It's the idea that we have looked into the universe's raw, potentially chaotic or computationally irreducible processes and, in our need for comprehension, imposed a story of neat, mathematical, causal "laws." The order we worship may be the ultimate face we've seen in the cosmic static.

Apophenia/Pareidolia of the Laws of Physics Theory Example: This mind-bending theory asks: What if F=ma or E=mc² are not discovered truths about reality's fabric, but are like seeing a face on Mars? They are the immensely useful, predictive, and consistent patterns that our particular form of intelligence, evolved on a middling planet, is able to project onto a universe whose true nature might be patternless, lawless, or governed by logic utterly alien to us. Our physics, in this view, is a spectacular, productive, and possibly species-specific pareidolia.

Paraphysics of the Laws of Physics

A speculative or fringe field that investigates phenomena or principles that appear to exist alongside, beyond, or in parallel to conventional physical laws—exploring the boundaries where physics meets the unexplained, the anomalous, or the supposedly impossible. Paraphysics takes seriously the possibility that our current laws might be incomplete, that phenomena dismissed as "paranormal" might indicate undiscovered dimensions of physical reality, or that consciousness might interact with matter in ways physics doesn't yet recognize. Unlike pseudoscience (which ignores evidence), paraphysics engages with anomalies while maintaining critical inquiry—asking whether UFOs, psychic phenomena, or alternative healing might point to physics beyond current understanding. Whether such inquiry leads to new physics or dead ends, paraphysics serves as a reminder that today's orthodoxy was yesterday's heresy, and that the boundaries of the physical are not necessarily the boundaries of the real.

Paraphysics of the Laws of Physics Example: "He studied telepathy not as magic but as a possible indicator of undiscovered physical interactions—paraphysics, the investigation of phenomena that seem to violate known laws but might reveal new ones. Most of it leads nowhere, but somewhere, something might."

Dynamism of the Laws of Physics

A theoretical perspective emphasizing that the laws of physics are not static, eternal rules but dynamic, evolving principles that may change over cosmic time or under extreme conditions. Dynamism challenges the traditional view of laws as fixed and immutable, suggesting instead that they might be more like habits of nature—regularities that emerged with the universe and could, in principle, transform. This perspective draws on cosmological observations (constants that might vary), quantum gravity speculation (laws that might emerge from more fundamental processes), and philosophical considerations (why would laws be eternal when everything else changes?). Dynamism doesn't claim that anything goes, but that the boundaries of physical possibility might be more fluid than traditionally assumed—that the universe's rules might have a history and a future, not just a present.

Dynamism of the Laws of Physics Example: "Her dynamism of physical laws suggested that the constants we measure today might have been different in the early universe—and might change again in the distant future. The laws aren't carved in stone; they're carved in time."
