Okay. Let's hire aliens to create the system, but let's avoid telling them
what we want (to avoid tainting the result).

This is nonsense, and it betrays your inexperience. Humans write the rules,
humans are constantly changing the rules, and there is always the crucial
factor of behavior outside the rules, which leads to the writing of new
rules.

The principles ARE the specifics. Either that, or there are no principles.
And learn how to spell "independent".

Please stop posting this New Age dreck. All you are doing is advertising
your limited experience with unfiltered reality.

You obviously have no life experience. In your system, was it aliens who set
up the rules, in order to avoid the problem of human influence?

Okay, here is the answer to your entire query:
The single rule of natural systems is: there are no fixed rules. Software
development must proceed as evolution does, or it will stall perpetually.
