naturlagar
Naturlagar, in Swedish, refer to statements about the regularities observed in nature that can be formulated as universal, testable relationships. They are concise descriptions, often expressible in mathematical form, that summarize how certain quantities relate under specified conditions. Unlike legal or moral rules, naturlagar describe natural phenomena and are not prescriptive.
Historically, ideas of natural law emerged in ancient philosophy and matured with the Scientific Revolution. Figures
