Concept a word Carolverse uses with a precise meaning

The binding part of the corpus, as opposed to the useful part: the rulings and principles where being wrong is SILENT and produces confident, plausible, wrong work. Law is read in full; recipes are looked up when needed.

โš–๏ธWhat it is NOT

The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.

Not: Cookbook

The cookbook holds everything; the law is the part that must be known in advance.
