There are certain (well this sounds familiar) fundamental laws of art such as hue, value, movement, repetiton; gosh, I don't think it's necessary to list them all. Anyway people have debated whether art is really artsy if it follows rules. I mean, how incredibly trite, to stick to the ordinary! But this is ridiculous. People who've tried to break rules, like Jackson Pollock (see image) have only reinforced them: the lack of adherence to a code serves only to amplify its importance.
This concept holds true for other aspects of life as well. Think of rebellious teens, for instance: by breaking rules, kids ultimately succeed in highlighting the existance of tradition and responsibility and concern for one's fellow man and cetera.
I don't think there's a way to obliterate the codes and traditions and commands we face every day, because they're inherently human; escape is impossible for any sane member of the human race. If one could perhaps stop caring about rules and non-rules, then perhaps one could truly escape them. To achieve this while being aware of the rules would be impossible, though, because one cannot deny one's humanity. Unless one is crazy. I suppose, since teens and artists and musicians and actors and political radicals live in a constant state of heightened rule-awareness, one might argue that they're saner than everyone else. Perhaps.
