Rules are important, otherwise there is no convergence of complexity. Consider Conway's Game of Life. Without rules it's just random interactions, with no potential benefit.

Yet, with simple rules these cellular automata hop to life. Every rule you add however, limits the possible configurations that the system can physically exist in.

I find it compelling to consider that according to the Old Testament there is only a single example of God providing Direct rules.

The original ten commandments.

It's an interesting story. The first tablets were created by God directly. From the the mind of God, through God's own fingers the laws were carved.

But Moses destroyed those tablets in rage when he saw what his fellow believers were up to in his absence.

Of course, he returned to God, probably quite ashamed of this ultimate form of blasphemy. After all, never before had God (nor since) interacted directly with humans in this way.

The tablets were a physical manifestation of God's will, with no interpretation of man at all.

God instructed Moses to reconstruct those laws. Through the hand of man. Through Moses' own interpretation.

I often wonder how closely those sets of tablets would align. Was it only the handwriting that was changed?

Or does this story contain a deeper message? A symbolic one?

One that is telling us quite clearly, that any rule of God, is by default a rule that has been interpreted only via man.

That's an important distinction after all.
