 * Keep, I think. It appears to be a synonym of in at least one sense, and there is at least one lemming, there may be others (ref added). DonnanZ (talk) 13:10, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think there's a more figurative sense that is missing. It's not just used in scientific or philosophical contexts, you can also say "it's a law of nature" to mean "that's the way the world works", e.g.  . 70.172.194.25 22:11, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * This figurative sense is represented particularly strong in its negation:  not a law of nature, meaning “not a hard rule”. --Lambiam 18:33, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It seems I was wrong, RFD-withdrawn. --Rishabhbhat (talk) 13:40, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
