It could work, we just gotta make sure we add some method to the madness.Maybe something more unconventional? May I suggest: clusterfuck of conflict? Everyone has their own priorities and are double crossing each other and blah blah blah...
Hmm, I'm more in favour of the non-sentient force actually. The idea of a sentient force that has the ability to give people what are essentially magical powers kinda makes the cyberpunk theme rather redundant for me. It makes the science-based-powers become more magic-based in my mind. I'd rather they experienced some kind of event related to their Law that left them constantly at a slight angle to that rule's normal functioning. For example, someone who experiences Time differently may have been exposed to some kind of situation where they had to be in 2 places at once with a significant enough consequence that they absolutely Had to manipulate time.
Yummy. <3(creating the possibilitie of animals, plants and even perhaps enviroments that develops Laws as a consequence.)
. . .
those who wield one might start having a hint that something is different or changed.
Then hypothetically this break that is shifting the code has to be minimal in consequence, since this way, the minority will have a Law while the mayority continues to be ruled completely by mundane physic. Still i kind of have grown attached to the idea of having Laws abide even non-living things. This could make for pretty interesting scenarios and even apply conditions and knowledge on the terrain that could determine who´s got the edge and who´s not. It could even work for arquitectural structures.I'm still going from the universe being a set of codes perspective, so how about we change that a little so that a break happens somewhere (The center of the universe, IE the origin of all matter, seems like a good enough place as any, since it's the same place where a lot of unique phenomena have been predicted to occur) and as a result, the code is shifted throughout the universe, resulting in certain people being affected by these Laws. Sort of like how if you were to accidentally miss out a loop while knitting a scarf, then every loop you make would be one position too early and would affect other parts of the scarf. I'm not particularly fond of the idea of the universe being even a semi-sentient force that's capable of correcting mistakes in itself.
