ZK translation: This seemed almost a rule of order

[Mark Kohut]

Ladies First, I find, is a 'rule of order' (probably) upon research.
"unwritten rule' as Becky sez.

the tacit dimension of a situation, as one philosopher and another
sociologist wrote.

OED: to bring into a certain state.....rule: to arrange in order. Obs.

in math, a procedure...
