Follow the rules / 2

What is the relationship between the expression of a rule and follow the rule?

Suppose you are in a foreign country and meet the following unknown symbol: x & 2. We note, at a local, but whatever explanation seems incomprehensible.
Then the local resident writes a series of equalities: 1 & 2 = 2, 2 & 2 = 4, 3 & 2 = 6, 4 & 2 = 8, 5 & 2 = 10, ... and we seem to have understood: "X & 2" means x multiply by 2. However
certainty that we have understood the rule associated with the symbol? The rule covers a multitude of cases, while we can control only a finite number.

So depending on what we learn to follow a rule? Any explanation must always be interpreted and leads to a further interpretation. Each set of examples is insufficient because it is necessarily finite, while the rule is an infinite number of cases.
Perhaps, then, we learn to follow a rule because we trained to do so in this sense "'follow the rule' is a practice. And believe to follow the rule does not follow the rule."
Let me ask: What has to share the expression of the rule - say a road - with my actions? What kind of connection exists between the two? - Well, maybe this: I was trained to react in a certain way to this sign, and now I react like that.
But this way you only have shown a causal link, you just explained why we are now set according to the directions of a traffic signal, not in what sense, exactly, this will follow a signal. No, I also pointed out that one rule according to the instructions of a traffic signal just as there is a stable use, habit "(1).
