1. The connections to those possibilities, within a brain, between individuals, within society, to

specialized functionaries, for all of those connections (beginning organically), the tendency to respond becomes less and less.

4. Yes. If you fail to enforce a law or a right for long enough, it may become

unenforceable.

Take private property. If an owner allows unfettered access along a private road, for example, it's quite likely that at some point that road will enter the public domain and be legally considered a public road.

If you right a song, share it with people, and don't copy right it, it can enter the public domain and you may lose your right to copyright it.

More examples are found in both criminal and civil law. If a statue is passed, but never enforced, then it may successfully be argued that the law is moot, and can't be enforced at some later date.

It of course all depends on the situation as well as who is hearing a particular case.
