Law of the Divine Complexity

Adeptus Mechanicus Portal

The Law of the Divine Complexity was a set of rules that were followed by the members of the Martian Mechanicum.

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

Adept Koriel Zeth often watched out for those adepts of an innovative nature who broke this sacred rule, 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]
