From Lexicanum

The Law of the Divine Complexity was a set of rules that were followed by the members of the Adeptus Mechanicus of Mars.

According to the Law, it was the belief that the structure and working of each machine has been set down by the Omnissiah and therefore divine. Thus, to alter it was considered an act of heresy and punishable by death.

Adept Koriel Zeth often watched out for those who broke this sacred rule in order to use their innovative nature as she felt that the stagnant nature of the Mechanicum was counterproductive to progress. Dalia Cythera was noted for breaking the Law by making subtle improvements to her Cogitator.¹
