rule sets
Codified play instructions
Rule sets are collections of rules that govern how something operates.
In gaming, a rule set defines mechanics, scoring, and permitted actions: We're using the tournament rule set.
In computing, rule sets configure firewalls, spam filters, or automated systems by specifying conditions and responses.
The term emphasizes that rules work as interconnected systems rather than isolated directives.
