i like external laws. in the extreme case that no external set of laws fits a character's behavioral laws, then it's internal and therefore chaotic. laws assume a society by definition of the term law. words like "governing" and "authority" often describe law.
from wikipedia: Law (a loanword from Old Norse lag), in politics and jurisprudence, is a set of rules or norms of conduct which mandate, proscribe or permit specified relationships among people and organizations, provide methods for ensuring the impartial treatment of such people, and provide punishments for those who do not follow the established rules of conduct.
there i think you find support for the external view of things.
