Aware IM considers rules with a certain pattern to be initialization rules. Here is an example of an initialization rule:

IF Order.State IS UNDEFINED THEN Order.State = 'New' 

When a new business object is created in the operation mode the initialization rules are executed before the object form is displayed. Therefore, when the user sees the form for the new object its attributes are already initialized according to the rules.

Aware IM automatically generates initialization rules to handle initial values the configurator specifies for object attributes.
