What is Rules?

Rules, in a technological context, refer to sets of instructions or guidelines that govern the behavior of a system, application, or process. They define conditions and corresponding actions to be taken when those conditions are met. Rules are commonly used in expert systems, business rule engines, and decision support systems to automate decision-making, enforce policies, and optimize workflows. They can be expressed in various forms, such as if-then statements, decision tables, or formal logic.
