Q: This data structure is composed of nodes with no in-degree and at most two children.
A: Binary Tree.

Q: This classic machine has infinite memory.
A: What is a Turing Machine.

Mmm..once again I probably should have worded my question better. It's not as strongly "self-imposed" as for example Moore's law. Perhaps a better comparison would be Newtonian Fluid Mechanics that generally don't always hold. My point was that people actively make sure this sought after law holds, because people are expecting it to hold (like Moore's Law).
