Legs
The legs of the Triangle of a Law represent the relationships between a Lawmaker and a Source doing conduct and a Lawmaker and a Recipient receiving conduct. They illustrate two of the three focus (foci) of a Lawmaker. The focus of a Lawmaker can be upon 1) the Source doing conduct, 2) the Recipient receiving conduct or 3) imprecisely on neither or both of these.
Loophole
A loophole is a circumstance that, when added to the mix, changes one permutation of a law into another.
The main clause of a three part sentence
The main clause of a three part sentence holds "the law". In it is a command, a permission, a right, a duty, a no-right or a privilege (no-duty). The other parts of a three part sentence are an if clause and an even though clause.
Map
The boundaries that define a law have been discovered, explored and mapped. A Unified Theory of a Law is the map. Take it with you on your journey through the legal world.
May
The word, 'may', is a helping verb. It appears in sentences that are permissions and indicates what grammarians call the permissive mood. It is a clue to Deregulation.
The image of the hands of a Lawmaker and conduct is a helpful metaphor for understanding the process of making a law. A Lawmaker is either "hands on" or "hands off". A "hands on" Lawmaker has her hands around conduct. She pushes conduct from a Source. She pulls conduct to a Recipient. A "hands on" Lawmaker is a Lawmaker who is regulating. A "hands on" Lawmaker does not leave conduct alone. A "hands off" Lawmaker leaves conduct alone. There is no push. There is no pull. A "hands off" Lawmaker is a Lawmaker who is deregulating.
Model of a law
In our heads is a model of law. We use it to makes sense of the laws we meet in the world. A high fidelity model gives us a fair and accurate representation of a law. A low fidelity model gives us only a poor approximation.
A Unified Theory of a Law attempts to upgrade your model of a law. Note: the model of a law is akin to a noun and the techniques in the toolkit are akin to verbs.
Negative
Conduct is negative when its flow is off.
Not
The word, 'not', changes the polarity of conduct to off from on.
'Not' also is a conjunction of Regulation joining together affirmative conduct and negative conduct and indicating the permutation not desired by a Lawmaker.
No-duty
A no-duty is a vehicle that carries a Lawmaker's opinion to the citizenry. it is used when the focus of a Lawmaker is upon a Source. A Lawmaker binds a no-duty onto a Source. It is synonymous with a permission and a no-right. A no-duty, permission, and a no-right are the three vehicles of Deregulation. It means that a Lawmaker lacks a desire for a Source to do affirmative and lacks a desire for a Source to do negative conduct. Another word for a privilege is a privilege.
No-right
A no-right is a vehicle that carries a Lawmaker's opinion to the citizenry. It is used when the focus of a Lawmaker is upon a Recipient. A Lawmaker binds a no-right onto a Recipient. It is synonymous with a permission and a privilege (no-duty). A no-right, permission and a privilege (no-duty) are the three vehicles of Deregulation. It means that a Lawmaker lacks a desire that a Recipient receive affirmative and lacks a desire that a Recipient receive negative conduct.
