Trying to follow your gold and silver approach. Is this similar to cause and effect, in that the silver rules support the golden rule.

For example, silver rules might be (using the school zone as the subject):

1. I drive carefully
2. The school zone is for children
3. I acknowledge that children's actions are unpredictable

which leads to
If (1) I drive carefully, and
if (3) I acknowledge that children's actions are unpredictable

Then the effect is (another silver)
4. I drive even more carefully when there are children about

and next
If (4) I drive even more carefully when there are children about, and
If (2) The school zone is for children

then the effect is (gold)
5. Children are safe/will come to no harm when I drive in the school zone

Maybe not the best example, but hope it allows you to say yay or nay. If nay give me another example to explain what you mean.

Thanks
