The extension of panoptic discipline to the very concept of “laws of physics.” This imaginary panopticon treats physical laws as immutable, universally enforced rules that watch over all material behavior. Any anomaly or apparent violation (e.g., in parapsychology or emergent phenomena) is immediately scrutinized and dismissed as error or fraud. The Laws of Physics Panopticon creates a metaphysical prison where nature is assumed to be perfectly law‑abiding, and researchers internalize the belief that any deviation must be their mistake. It forecloses the possibility that physical laws might be contextual, emergent, or statistical.
