Answer:

Scientific Law.

Step-by-step explanation:

A law is a mathematical description of a phenomenon, specifically a natural one, in this case. The difference with a theory, for example, is that it is not yet proven to be a universal fact, which a law is. Take for example the Laws of Thermodynamics or the Universal Law of Gravitation, both of these have been proven to be universal by mathematical equations.
