Permutation
Available to a Lawmaker with regard to any single instance of conduct flowing from a Source to a Recipient through circumstances are three permutations of a law: 1) Affirmative Regulation, 2) Deregulation or 3) Negative Regulation. A Lawmaker picks one of the three permutations of a law and rejects the other two during the process of making a law. There are not sixteen permutations; there are not six permutations; only three. Each permutation of a law consists of a combination of two opinions out of a total of four opinions. A Lawmaker can 1) hold a desire for affirmative conduct, 2) lack a desire for affirmative conduct, 3) lack a desire for negative conduct, 4) hold a desire for negative conduct. Opinions 1 and 3 constitute Affirmative Regulation. Opinions 2 and 3 constitute Deregulation. Opinions 4 and 2 constitute Negative Regulation.
A Lawmaker can form any of four opinions. However, there are only three permutations of a law.
Polarity
Polarity is the property of a flow of conduct from a Source to a Recipient through circumstances. The flow is binary either off or on. If on, the polarity of a flow of conduct is said to be affirmative. If off, the polarity of a flow of conduct is said to be negative.
The word, 'not', changes the polarity of conduct from affirmative to negative.
Privilege
A privilege 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 privilege onto a Source. It is synonymous with a permission and a no-right. A privilege, 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 for a Source to do negative conduct. Another word for a privilege is a no-duty.
Process of making a law
The process of making a law consists of two stages. In the first stage, a Lawmaker forms an opinion about the polarities of conduct flowing from a Source to Recipient through circumstances. In the second stage, a Lawmaker externalizes the opinion by loading it onto a vehicle for conveyance to the citizenry.
Pull
Pull is a metaphor that explains what a Lawmaker does during Regulation with regard to a Recipient of conduct. A Lawmaker puts her hands on the conduct and pulls it toward the Recipient.
Push
Push is a metaphor that explains what a Lawmaker does during Regulation with regard to a Source of conduct. A Lawmaker puts her hands on the conduct and pushes it from the Source.
Recipient
At one end of conduct flowing is a Recipient; at the other end is a Source. A Recipient is the destination of a flow of conduct. Conduct flows to a Recipient through circumstances. When conduct reaches a Recipient it is known as consequences. A Recipient exists in "the factual". A Recipient is brought into the legal when a Lawmaker binds a right or a no-right to him.
Regulation
Regulation comes in two flavors: 1) Affirmative Regulation and 2) Negative Regulation. Deregulation, Affirmative Regulation and Negative Regulation are the three permutations of a law. A Lawmaker applies one of the three permutations of a law to any single instance of conduct flowing from Source to Recipient through circumstances. In Affirmative Regulation, a Lawmaker holds a desire for affirmative conduct and lacks a desire for negative conduct. In Negative Regulation, a Lawmaker holds a desire for negative conduct and lacks a desire for affirmative conduct. In contrast, in deregulation, a Lawmaker lacks a desire for either polarity of conduct. The vehicles that convey Regulation are a command, duty and right. A Lawmaker issues a command and binds a duty to a Source doing conduct and a right to a Recipient receiving conduct. In Regulation, a Lawmaker is "hands on" grabbing conduct by the throat. The Lawmaker pushes conduct from a Source and pulls conduct to a Recipient. The Lawmaker does not leave the conduct alone. In Regulation, the Lawmaker does not delegate to the Source doing conduct the decision to engage in a course of conduct but reserves it to herself.
