Laws in the physics sense don't govern, though, they describe. It's akin to saying moral laws don't decide what's immoral, they simply describe it.

Given that, "laws of physics" are certainly describable. We simply write the formulae that tell us what the next state of the dynamical system is. They are ways of delimiting what is physically possible, given the current state of the art.
