I find this is a very good rule. This is a useful formulation of the "unity"
rule and it applies on any work, not only software. It also sounds very
close with the non-contradiction rule in philosophy.
I was searching some phrasing like this "Poetic rule" for describing the
translation "unity" rule, but my approach was tangent. Good.
I will integrate this kind of phrasing to PLT. The title very appropiate:
it is really a Poetic rule.

Greetings, and I hope your license will be approved quickly.
(more than others, in fact... :-D)))
