No, it doesn't. The codes come from a common understanding of what behaviour
is acceptable, and the actors *choose* to abide by them - i.e. the behaviour
comes from a free will decision to abide by the codes, or from a fear to be
judged negatively by peers if you don't follow the codes.

The codes themselves are powerless (as the actors aren't programmed automatons,
but people with free will). Social pressure does have power, and
*that* is the forcing factor.

Try to transplant the codes into another social setting (with less social
pressure to be courteous, codes or not) and they'll fail miserably.
