I was being deliberately vague, because I didn't want to get into  that
kind of discussion.  But now that you have raised the issue,  I'll fill
in a tiny bit of detail.

It seems to me that a rule is a natural language statement, and
"following a rule" involves a self-perception as a way of monitoring
our own behavior to see whether it is consistent with the rule.
