In literature, the term “rules” assumes multifaceted roles, often standing in for prescribed guidelines, social conventions, or even the exercise of power. Authors employ “rules” to denote structured methods, as when language learning is reduced to mastering basic rules ([1]) or when specific behavioral codes govern activities within a community ([2]). At the same time, “rules” serve as metaphors for the underlying order of the universe and human society, illustrated by references to cosmic governance ([3]) and the sovereign authority of characters ([4], [5]). Philosophers and writers also question the rigidity of such rules, suggesting that while rules provide order, they are often subject to reinterpretation or even arbitrary construction ([6], [7]). Thus, across genres and periods, “rules” amplify narratives by offering both clear directives and a ground for challenging traditional boundaries.
