I would think it would be a fear of Greek laws: νόμος It could also be a fear of nomograms, which are charts showing quick and dirty approximations of variables. I think an old fashioned slide rule is an example, IIRC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomogram

Harrumph. I would have guessed that nomophobia was the fear of rules.
