The focus of a Lawmaker at the acme of The Triangle of Law shifts as she despises conduct flowing from a Source to a Recipient through circumstances at its base. The focus shifts in three ways:

  1. A Lawmaker can focus on the Source doing conduct. (a Source Focused Lawmaker) (this is represented by one of the two legs of the Triangle of a Law) ,
  2. A Lawmaker can focus on the Recipient receiving conduct. (a Recipient Focused Lawmaker) (this is represented by one of the two legs of the Triangle of a Law) , or,
  3. A Lawmaker can be out of focus neither concentrating upon the Source doing conduct nor the Recipient receiving conduct. (a Neither Focused Lawmaker)
In observing the process of making a law, it is important to take notice of the focus of a Lawmaker. Legal discourse is always clearer when everyone is focusing upon the same thing. Confusion arises when participants in legal discourse do not share the same focus.
