Remember, not all SF is "tech talk," nor does the specific science always dictate the elements of the story itself. Authors like Stanslaw Lem and Philip K. Dick have written excellent stories that have SF elements, but are not guided or resolved by those elements.
As to laws: Sorry, but humans live in societies, and societies need laws so everyone understands how the collective world works. Without those laws, one man's tome would be another man's gibberish.
Sure, we don't always have to specifically state those laws (many are just understood)... but in other areas, where laws have been established, they sometimes need editing or clarification...
Besides...
If you're not into laws...
why are you in this thread?
