Why can't we have that? We might not ever *observe* that, and this
regularity becomes codified as a "law" but it's not (on the face of
it) a *performative*, it has no *force*, it's just an observation
that calls for a deeper causal explanation. I know it probably
follows from symmetry constraints, but in a universe with speed of
light restrictions this still leaves a gaping explanatory hole.
