Law

1. An extremely well established universal generalization such as the first law of thermodynamics (i.e., in an isolated system energy remains constant).

2. A relation between antecedent conditions or causes and consequent events in which the antecedent either determines or renders probable the consequent (the former being a deterministic law, the latter being an indeterministic law).
