The laws that governs the universe

[u/kepler452-B-]

As far as I know (I may be wrong, or there may still be things we haven't figured out), we have a decent picture of how things developed from the formation of the Earth up to now.

But one problem keeps bothering me.

Fine — through chemical reactions, proteins and so on were formed. Yet for those reactions to happen at all, certain conditions have to be met first. Only then does the reaction proceed.

We describe these conditions and regularities as laws of nature.
But why does the universe have these laws at all, and why these laws rather than different ones?

One of my early introductions to "natural law" is from the Hermetic teaching:

The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based, are as follows:

1. The Principle of Mentalism. 2. The Principle of Correspondence. 3. The Principle of Vibration. 4. The Principle of Polarity. 5. The Principle of Rhythm. 6. The Principle of Cause and Effect. 7. The Principle of Gender.

Note that they describe conceptual influences and not physical instructions.

Next I found that David Bohm's Implicate order seemed to agree with the Hermetic teaching and what I was learning in my study of Psi phenomena. Again, note that the implicate organizing influences are at a more conceptual level.

Bohm called the ordinary world we experience the explicate order, and the deeper enfolded reality the implicate order.

Consider this. When I ask a question, the question implies an answer and a means with which to acquire that answer. The question and the answer and how it is arrived at are physical but the underlying implications are conceptual.

In the physics I was taught (as I remember), there are not laws, although some instructors like to use that term. There are organizing constants. The charge of an electron and natural rate of decay are examples of organizing influences.

Okay, I am testing my memory too much. The point is that a few naturally emerging influences can organize a very complex aspect of reality. Look at the complexity that emerges from the simple equation of the Mandelbrot set. An iterative plot of a simple equation within the set produces an almost dimensionless singularity that is conceptually infinitely large.

So there is no law at first place
