What’s the opposite of ‘rule’? The noun not the verb.
What would an unrule, a factor that promotes unruly behavior, be?
Aside, the archaic “ruly” (‘amenable to discipline or order’) is a great word and should be brought back.
‘License’ seems close. Licentious behavior is positive-defined unruly behavior. Moral licensing effects rely less on explicit permission from authority figures and more on observing a first example of the behavior with no consequences, esp from a supposed moral superior.
Unrules sit between totalitarian principle (“anything not forbidden is compulsory”) and liberal principle (“everything that’s not forbidden is allowed”)
Apparently the German version is “everything that’s not allowed is forbidden”
Ideally you want the building block of the spirit of “fuck around and find out”
Not ‘trial and error’ or ‘experiment’, those imply their own disciplined rules.
