Changes

Certain types of rules or customs may become [[law]] and regulatory legislation may be introduced to formalise or enforce the [[convention]] (e.g. laws which determine which side of the road vehicles must be driven). In a social [[context]], a convention may retain the [[character]] of an "unwritten" law of custom (e.g. the [[manner]] in which people greet each other, such as by shaking each other's hands).

In [[physical sciences]], numerical [[value]]s (such as constants, quantities, or scales of [[measure]]ment) are called conventional if they do not represent a measured property of [[nature]], but [[origin]]ate in a convention, for example an average of many [[measure]]ments, agreed between the scientists working with these values.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_(norm)]
