  Physical law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A physical law, scientific law, or a law of nature is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations of physical behavior.
Laws of nature are distinct from the law, either religious or civil, and should not be confused with the concept of natural law.
Inverse square law of interactions mediated by massless bosons is the mathematical consequence of 3-dimensionality of space.

 Laws of Unified Form The Book of Ex Nihilo
Scientific Law: " a phenomenon of nature that has been proved to invariably occur whenever certain conditions exist or are met; also, a formal statement about such a phenomenon; also called natural law" Principles of the Delta Phenomenon 1- The Delta Phenomenon is perceived as the basis of dimension that exists in a body.
Law 2- The Disposition is identified as the level of attraction, and repulsion of the two entities with respect to a factor of Distance within the Realm of Reference.
Law 3- The Average Force can be more relative to one Entity over another or equal depending on the equivalence of E1/T1 and E2/T2; the relative distance between them is where the average occurs.

 E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum -> The Laws Of Form
By the word 'form' he means what a Buddhist would mean by it, and by 'Laws' he meant the actual laws of conceptual logic by which form arises from neither form nor non-form to become the universe (and all the others).
Spencer-Brown’s Laws of Form is summarized and the philosophical implications examined.
Laws of Form is a mathematical system which deals with the emergence of anything out of the void.

 An Introduction to Form and Function   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Form should be understood as that which fulfills a function; this is Aristotle's teleology - the principle of final causation.
In archaeology one is presented only with the forms of ancient civilizations, and the objective is to reconstruct the function.
Also in biology is the incredible way in which an understanding of form provides insight into function; think of the structure of DNA and the way in which it suggests replication, translation and recombination.

 Laws of form revisited
The core of his antimechanist discourse is that biological forms derive from the action of natural laws on the constituent material of life, while DNA is limited to influencing the form, but not in determining it.
Just as, today, we account for the form of atoms and crystals by a set of physical laws or "constructional rules", so the pre-darwinian biologists sought to account for the origin of biological forms in terms of a set of generative physical laws often referred to as the "laws of form".
Consideration of these "constructional laws" suggests that the total number of permissible folds is bound to be restricted to a very small number -about 4,000, according to one estimate.

Uniform national gun laws are therefore a priority and we are concerned that progress made will not be whittled away by states watering down the agreements made under the leadership of the present Prime Minister.
Labor stated that it supported uniform laws and stricter laws than we had, but was unable to bring it about except for the tightening of importation of military rifles.
Is not looking at a referendum or blueprint law that would create uniform gun laws rather than leave the possibility of widening loopholes as each state interprets the 11 points of agreement.

 Multiple Form Logic: An extension of George Spencer-Brown's LAWS of FORM
Laws of Form" is a revolutionary book about Logic, which influenced many researchers and artists in the world, for about three decades.
Laws of Form" then becomes a special instance of Multiple Form Logic™, restricted by the fact that his Forms are not multiple; also restricted because Brown's "Distinction" is interpreted as "Not” rather than "Xor".
Laws of Form that "distinction is perfect continence" on a philosophical basis.

 Forth Meets Laws of Form
Laws of Form is a mathematics text and in some ways has natural parallels to the Forth programming language.
My primary interest in the work has always been in the ability of the Laws to reduce the complexity of logical expressions, or to determine if a logical expression is true, false, or contingent in a systematic way.
The Laws of Form is an attempt to unify the disparate fields of math, logic, and the physical sciences with a very simple underlying mathematical principle.

 Interpretations of Laws of Form
The laws of calling and crossing reduce broad and deep structures in a manner consistent with logical arithmetic.
The first two axioms parallel the laws of the arithmetic, while the third represents the law of the excluded middle.
Spencer-Brown's approach was to restrict the law of calling and to introduce distribution as an axiom (in the logic, distribution is a theorem).

 Nagual Series IV - The Laws of the Tonal and the Laws of the Nagual
To manifest that which we desire in our life we must be able to use both the laws of energy and the laws of form.
Coming back to the laws of energy and the laws of form remember that the laws are opposite.
Knowing how these laws work in both form and energy we can, for example, manifest what we want twice as fast as we would if we were only to use the laws of form or the laws of energy.

Boolean algebra is a form of algebra that's commonly associated with ordinary, or 2-valued, logic; it's an algebra of statements, just as ordinary algebra is an algebra of numbers.
Music is a similar art form, the composer does not even attempt to describe the set of feelings occasioned through them, but writes down a set of commands which, if they are obeyed by the reader, can result in a reproduction, to the reader, of the composer's original experience.
The underlying principle of Brown's Laws of Form is the notion of distinction.

 Spencer-Brown Form -- from Wolfram MathWorld
The traditional notation for the form is a kind of vinculum token that spans its arguments thus offering a bracket-free notation that is always syntactically correct.
Arguments of the form can be either explicit instances of the form itself (primary arithmetic) or collections of arguments that are variables defined as representing either the form or the empty space obtained by processing a form by a form (primary algebra).
The Spencer-Brown form can hence be regarded as a symbol for a distinction which takes itself as its own domain to generate the range for functions it represents and operates on.

 Amazon.com: Laws of Form: Books: G. Spencer-Brown   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
I take the key sentences in Spencer-Brown's Laws of Form to be the first two sentences at the beginning of Chapter 1: "We take as given the idea of distinction and the idea of indication, and that one cannot make an indication without drawing a distinction.
We take therefore the form of distinction for the form." This book is a carefully crafted and beautifully written account of how the act of imagining a distinction gives rise to worlds of multiplicity from a unity where no distinction is actually possible.
Later considerations in Chapter 11 of Laws of Form about imaginary values are related to this original imaginary state.

In a sense, contexts are a form of degree 3.
One can obviously see from this point how the form could reach another higher degree if it was possible to abstract the concept of time altogether so as to reinject the result computed by a context back to itself (sort of a 'time compression' problem).
The form S at the top left is the starter, it is a form that remains marked only on the first pass of the evaluation.

 Internet Copyright Laws - The Sincerest Form of Flattery...
Were the choreographer not to record the routine, however (whether in writing, on videotape or some other tangible form of expression), and instead just kept the routine in his or her head, the routine would not be able to be copyrighted because the routine has not been fixed in a tangible form of expression.
Perhaps the most widely misunderstood aspect of copyright law is that it does not require registration or publication to come into existence.
As copyright is a personal property right, it can be bequeathed by will or pass by operation of the law governing intestate succession (the rules that govern if someone dies without leaving a will).

 Battle fronts form over marriage laws - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Traditional-marriage advocates who are taking their battle against California's new domestic-partnership law to the streets and the courts face several important deadlines next month.
But traditional-values groups say the law creates "counterfeit marriages" and overrides the voter-approved Proposition 22, which says that in California, only marriages between a man and a woman are valid.
Every other right, privilege or obligation that is attributed to marriage anywhere in the California statute is now also for domestic partners," said Mathew Staver of Liberty Counsel, which represents the CCF and several individuals who say their rights as Proposition 22 voters have been infringed.

 GEORGE SPENCER BROWN and his LAWS OF FORM
Spencer Brown's Laws of Form (1969) outlines a complete and consistent logic based on 'distinctions', which Maturana and Varela identify as the elementary cognitive act.
"The Laws of Form are equivalent to propositional calculus.
I always suspected that the Laws of Form and the Propositional Calculus (or Boolean algebra) were equivalent, and have treated them as such in my papers on distinction dynamics.

Laws of Form seems to be especially controversial: it's either a ground-breaking work of genius or the output of a crackpot, depending on who one asks.
