Put in the top window
written
and in the second window
unwritten rules
and see what you can get on the web.
The distinction between written and unwritten rules comes a long way.
The Romans used it in law while the Greeks used it in art.
It all has to do with the fact systems has a "tacit dimension", "hidden
organisation", "implicate order" or whatever we may call it. It is the
result of irreversible interactions between the system and its environ-
ment.
Some think that all of the "tacit dimension" can be articulated while
others believe that none of it can be articulated. I myself believe that
only part of it can be articulated. This requires a capacity for the
artistic -- something which already the Greeks were aware of.
With care and best wishes
