What are dynamic or evolving rules?

Dynamic or evolving rules are rules that change over time, just like a game you play with your friends where the rules get updated as you go.

Imagine you're playing tag at the park. At first, the rule is simple: if someone tags you, you’re it. But then, halfway through the game, someone suggests, "What if we add a new rule, you can only be tagged if you’re standing still?" Now the rules are evolving, they're not the same as when the game started.

Think of rules like pieces in a puzzle. At first, there are just a few pieces, and it’s easy to see how they fit together. But as time goes on, more pieces get added, sometimes new ones that change how the old ones work. That's what evolving rules feel like: you're always learning new parts of the puzzle, and sometimes you have to adjust your thinking.

A good real-life example is traffic lights. At first, they just had red, yellow, and green. Now some have special signals for turning or walking, these are dynamic rules that help make things safer and easier as we go along.
