I am reading your posts very carefully, but I think you are assuming that by using different words that you are delineating a difference, when I don't think you are.
You are drawing a distinction when there is no difference.
I don't see how a set of princoples and a code are any different.
How does a set of universal principles differ from a universal moral code?
A principle might be that it is wrong to kill innocent people. Couldn't that also be considered section of a code.
Are the ten commandments a code or a set of principles?
I think they are the same, why do you thing they are different?
