But honestly, can you even imagine matter that doesn't obey laws? I don't see any dualism here, just pure "monism."
A law is just a ratio. That ratio is what keeps matter stable.
Look at it another way. Maybe laws are just our limited ability to grasp the objective reality surrounding us. It means the world is much bigger than we can wrap our heads around, and the only way we can predict anything with certainty is through our understanding of these laws. Maybe that's why a song, or any piece of art, looks so elegant, refined, beautiful, and maddeningly complex when measured against any mathematical expression.
Back at the medini cave, I asked Apamet Quote this question:

Anyway, the post was actually about this kid

I was referring to the external tuning of gluon particle properties we discussed earlier. Yes, by a creator.
Specifically, those particles that carry the laws. Naturally, they are matter. I think there’s just been a misunderstanding because of my habit of using analogies or different terminology to explain things. 😁

Laws are, in any case, an interpretation via our language, writing, and perception. Most people find Euclidean geometry perfectly logical and intuitive. But that is merely a geometric model suitable for describing the macroscopic phenomena around us.

Otherwise, sometimes equations strike me as being just as elegant and refined as poetry. 😁

We could try to run the numbers, but it's an unnecessary complication. Or maybe it’s just impossible. Honestly, trying to quantify it is more convoluted than human consciousness itself. That's exactly why I'm leaving it out, as I previously stated. 🙂

I haven't got a clue what to write that actually sounds smart.🤷

That thought of yours caught my eye. Are equations refined and elegant because of the consequences they reveal, or are they just written in a way where the symbols look like poetry to you?😕

Because of the consequences.
Specifically, because of their meaning—serving as an accurate interpretation of natural laws, a symbol of recognized order, and so on.

Not every discussion needs to end with someone getting offended, storming out, or devolving into a petty argument. 😁

We tend to call a theory "elegant" when it manages to capture an immense variety of general scenarios using nothing more than a handful of straightforward equations.

I happened upon this snippet on a forum recently:

First off, we have to ask ourselves: what actually constitutes "elegance"? Occam's Razor
is essentially how I view it—the idea that a massive amount of underlying structure can be neatly packed into
just a few basic principles or equations. If you want a prime example, look no further than the equation used at
The CERN; it’s remarkably simple, draws upon these incredibly startling
mathematical concepts, and yet somehow accounts for such a vast spectrum of complex
physical phenomena.
