Empirical rule tests family bonds from "summary" of Dune by Frank Herbert
The empirical rule, said the old woman, tests family bonds more surely than any external method. It is a simple truth, known to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear. When the forces of the universe align against a family, when the winds of fate blow fierce and unrelenting, that is when the true strength of kinship is revealed. In times of peace and prosperity, family ties may seem strong and unbreakable, but it is in the crucible of hardship and adversity that their true nature is laid bare. The empirical rule is a merciless judge, holding no allegiance to sentiment or tradition. It cares not for bloodlines or titles, but only for the raw power of love and loyalty that binds a family together. It is a test that cannot be cheated or evaded, for it comes from within, from the deepest recesses of the heart and soul. Those who pass this test emerge stronger and more united than ever before, their bonds forged in the fires of suffering and sacrifice. But those who fail, who succumb to the pressures and temptations of the world, find themselves torn asunder, their once mighty family reduced to ashes and dust. For the empirical rule is a harsh master, unforgiving in its judgments and relentless in its pursuit of truth. It is a lesson that all must learn, sooner or later, for it is the very essence of life itself. And so it is that families are tested, not by the whims of fate or the caprices of fortune, but by the unyielding hand of the empirical rule. In its light, all pretense and illusion are stripped away, leaving only the stark reality of love and loyalty, of strength and weakness, of triumph and defeat. It is a test that none can escape, for it is the very foundation upon which all human relationships are built.
