Operating proceedures for employees.
That's a very accurate definition for statuatory regulations.
Egyptian "dieties" were referred to as Netter (singular) or Netteru (plural) they were not gods/goddesses, that's a 19th century anthroplological classification.
The netteru are something worth studying.
In addition to the, in both worlds, definition that Shamus gives, a khet, was also a measurement, of 100 cubits.
Much of ancient Egyptian pantheon stories are about measurement.

Peace.
Right, I remembered what you said about them not being deities from our conversation months ago. So is it accurate to call them "archetypes" or does it require more explanation?
I don't think Shamus mentioned it in this interview, but he likes to emphasise the link between the two definitions of "rule" - to measure, and to command. "What can be measured, can be managed." That's also a key reason he's so skeptical of blockchains - he doesn't want all of his info to be kept all in one place.
But the word we were saying was "Kek", not "khet"... or are they related?
Khet is a root of kemet (land), thus land (and not land) comes from khet (what was before there was this).
I dont think im doing a very good job at explaining this. I dont have any descriptive words to analagise (i just invented that word to try and add context). To fully duplicate understanding here, via the medium of language, we would first have to invent new words, and hopefully agree on the definitions :P
Peace.
Without the context of what it was like living in ancient Egypt, to shape thought patterns, we can't really allocate a noun. Even using, archetypes, immediately limits your thinking parameters on what a netter could be. best to just call them netteru :)
Peace.
