The foregoing operational techniques are essential second-level systematizing devices. As we will see each version of an operational technique is a distinctive compound of discrete first-level and still other functional units specially organized for the creation and implementation of law. Not all the same units figure in each technique and some serve somewhat differently even when they figure in the same techniques. No discrete functional unit is ever deployed solely on its own. Even an isolated stop sign which itself signifies a rule as duly posted at crossroads on a lonely prairie is not deployed solely on its own. It is integrated with other functional units within an overall operational technique I call the administrative-regulatory. This technique is deployed to secure safety on highways and incorporates in addition to stop signs many other regulative rules the licensing of drivers an administrative officialdom including police judicial institutions and discrete sanctions - all suitably integrated and coordinated within the technique. A first-level functional legal unit then is not combined with other functional units within an operational technique in a merely ad hoc haphazard or patternless fashion. Such a unit is rationally combined with other first-level units within one or more of the five overall forms of operational techniques. Each technique operates linearly and is a complex social construction that takes its own overall form. Only through study of its distinctive overall form can the nature of each technique be adequately understood. Major credit for the efficacy of each technique is attributable to its well-designed overall form. Whatever is achieved through law occurs via deployment of one of the foregoing techniques or some readily recognizable variant or some .
