Geshtinanna, I believe, has a piece of it.

The best analogy I heard for what is Natural or Unnatural is the example of traffic lights. Traffic lights were installed to maintain the order of traffic. It is a programmed device that was created because there was no other way to handle the large amounts of motorists short of having humans directing it. Traffics lights do not judge. They do not exact penalties or seek punishment. They have no other purpose than to function and direct traffic.

So for me, a Natural Law would be a program that was devised to handle something because there was no other way to handle short of somebody standing over to it to constantly watch it.

Something that is Unnatural would be the introduction of an outside influence effecting the way a Natural Law operates to the point that it would alter its original function or purpose.

Some Natural Laws leave room for improvisation and tampering, some laws don’t (as observed at the present time). Both Natural and Unnatural laws or neither wrong or right accept to the personal individual judging them.
