| - Rule can be related directly to Agent, Activity, or anything created or managed by agents, such as a Record Resource or Instantiation.
A Rule may be unwritten or written or otherwise documented. Unwritten rules may include though are not limited to the following: social mores, customs, or community expectations. Written rules may include though are not limited to the following: constitutions, legislation, acts (legal), statutes, legal codes, ordinances, charters, mission statements, regulations, policies, procedures, instructions, codes of conduct or ethics, professional standards, work assignments or work plans.
The source or sources of some Rules are external to the Agent (for example, expressed in elections, social mores, customs, community expectations, laws, regulations, standards and best practice codes), while others are expressed within the Agent’s immediate context (for example, policies, or written or verbal instructions).
The evidence for identifying Rules may be found in their entirety in one documentary source (for example, a law or regulation) or may be found in two or more sources.
Rule should not be confused with the one or more documentary sources that serve as evidence of its identity. A documentary source is a Record.
