What are rules?
The sun rising in the east and setting in the west is a rule; the changing phases of the moon are also rules; the tides ebbing and flowing, the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, are all rules. These objective laws do not change due to human subjective initiative.
And gods, too, have their rules.
The more powerful the god, the stronger the rule.
Of course, idealistic rules are not as stable as natural ones, thus "gods" develop a certain social inclination, and may even change their inclination due to changes in the broader environment.
