CHAPTER 2
THE FACTUAL ASPECT OF A LAW
Here are some questions with answers for Chapter 2 - the factual aspect of a law.
Question: What links a source to a recipient?
Answer: A source is linked to a recipient by a flow of conduct in circumstances.
Question: What two characters play a role in the factual aspect of a law?
Answer: A source and a recipient are the two characters that play a role in the factual aspect of a law.
Question: Is a lawmaker involved in the factual aspect of a law?
Answer: Yes but only as the person who decides which of the three permutations of a law applies to a particular flow of conduct from source to recipient in circumstances. A lawmaker is not immanent in the flow. Only a source and a recipient are immanent in the flow of conduct.
Question: How many ends does conduct have and what is at the ends of conduct?
Answer: Conduct has two ends. It does not have three; it does not have one. At the ends of conduct are a source and a recipient.
Question: What is direction?
Answer: Direction is a property of a flow of conduct. It holds that a flow of conduct is monodirectional only flowing from a source to a recipient never from a recipient to a source.
Question: Is the factual relationship described in a Unified Theory of a Law depicted on the Triangle of a Law® horizontally or vertically?
Answer: Horizontally. The three legal relationships are depicted vertically.
Question: What is polarity?
Answer: Polarity is a property of a flow of conduct. A flow of conduct has polarity. It is either on or off. Hence, its binary. When conduct is on or flowing, its polarity is positive. When conduct is off or not flowing, its polarity is negative. Polarity is how we refer to on or off state of conduct.
Question: Between what two characters does conduct flow?
Answer: Conduct flows between a source and a recipient.
Question: What is the context in which conduct flows?
Answer: The context in which conduct flows is an array of circumstances.
Question: What is a consequence?
Answer: A consequence is conduct that has arrived at a recipient.
Question: What is a source?
Answer: A source is a character at which conduct originates. A source is not a lawmake even though a lawmaker is a source of a law. A source is a source of conduct as we use it here. A source is the target that a lawmaker desires to hit with a command or miss with a permission. A lawmaker tries to substitute his opinion for the opinion of a source with a command but lets a source make the decision with a permission.
