I agree with you Jeff and brought up the same issue about being immutable. It also precludes the acceptance of fuzziness in relationships too. I suppose the use of the word 'law' in technology has a different meaning than the use of it in sciences like physics and chemistry. Susan

Ever since Kim Cameron's Laws of Identity, the industry seems to gravitate towards the use of the term "Laws". But I think what this document really is is a specification of design requirements for a new system(s) capable of meeting the objectives stated in the introduction.
I have no particular agita over these design requirements. But I feel that framing them properly as design requirements, rather than laws, offers flexibility to design alternative systems that may select only a subset or explicitly violate one or more laws. At this early stage I prefer this flexibility to the immutable sound of "Laws."
