It looks like the author omitted that most of these laws hold for E-type systems, meaning systems which are linked to some real-world activity, see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehman%27s_laws_of_software_ev.... As a counterexample: a math library written in C can last for years without change.

Why do you call such systems E-type systems? I am asking because I've been interested in an ontology of software systems for quite some times. Because most advice about software development, architecture, maintenance is stated general but actually only applies to some subset of software.
