As a genre, natural law is the law of nature—that is, the principle that some things are as they are, because that is how they are. This use is especially valid in Scotland, where "natural law" operates as a genre of law parallel to both civil and criminal law, and its discussion is not limited to human beings. The law of gravity, for example, is a natural law in this sense.

Its a wishy-washy theory by Locke and his cronies[1] that clams that there is some law that is natural and does not require existence of society.
The idea was thoroughly criticized by Hobbes in his work Leviathan[2]
In this book Hobbes noticed that when there is no society -- it is every men for himself and everything goes. The only natural law -- is "to the victor goes the spoils" and "woe to the vanquished"

the biggest fact is "organic rules are concise statements, many times in mathematical style". think of of issues like Newton's regulation of time-honored gravitation: F=GMm/r^2 - concise and mathematical. Theories are all-encompassing motives for the way distinctive components of the organic international artwork. Newton's *concept* of gravitation is contained in his "Principia", and is rarely concise. A concept is an excellent physique of expertise that could incorporate many organic rules.
