It refers to rules and principles. The term denotes not only natural laws governing the movement of things in the universe, but also ethical principles that guide human life. These rules, laws, and principles establish the fundamental order in the world in which we live; and their violations will lead to turmoil and disaster. Some believe that the universe and human society are governed by the same rules and principles, with society inheriting or following the rules and laws of the universe. Others argue that the universe and human society follow separate and independent rules and laws.
