Way to snip context yourself.  Here is the full quote:

All Colours have a set of Laws.  Laws can define things which a
Resident on them shall or shall not do, and can also define abstract
entities that exist only within the scope of the Laws, and define what
Residents on them can or cannot do with them. Laws however may not
modify (or grant permission to modify) any gamestate created outside
of that set of Laws unless using an already defined external and legal
mechanism.

The Laws of white define an abstract entity, and define what Residents
on white squares can do with them.  (Well, literally the sentence
seems to be referring to Residents on the Laws, which makes no sense,
so I suppose it has to be interpreted as a sort of synecdoche for
Residents on Colours having those Laws.  Or else Laws are totally
broken.  Which is perfectly possible.)
