For instance if it could be foreseen that swimming the flood swollen river may well end in drowning the idea prohibitive. The prediction of impossible or harmful outcome should prohibit related action for a reasonable person.

Prohibitions also take the form of Finite Context, wherein specific definitions and context indicate what something is, how something should be treated, what or what not it can be used for, and whether or not it can be transformed or destroyed. For example the definition of a bridge explains its reason, purpose, meaning and value. This definition and the context of its existence specifies the kind of human behavior that should be conducted towards it.

Inherent in the natural world is the condition of the Absent Determinant, or the absence of Finite Context as any known identity or any results and products in past, present or future which explain the reason, purpose or meaning, consequence and value of the given natural existence. This is the absence of conceptual prohibitions or definition and context that would restrict, limit or prohibit human activity and behavior. This would be like knowing as a certainty that the natural world was the body of God and that any misuse would result in God's wrath so that human conduct would be limited to the conformance of that fact and circumstance. The condition of the Absent Determinant is one of complete conceptual freedom which means that there are no conceptual prohibitions concerning what humans can and cannot do in terms of what they are physically capable. This condition means that humankind, or possibly all life and spirit in the universe, may create its own individual conception of itself and everything it perceives.
