The Law of One to me signifies the that the law is simply the truth of the way things are as far as the universe works.
I'll just chime in with an Eastern Vedanta philosophy perspective. Truth is referred to as tattva in sanskrit. There is a concept known as "Achintya-Bheda-Abheda" tattva. That refers to inconceivable simultaneous oneness and difference with God. It points out the inconceivable nature of existence while asserting that two conflicting schools of thought have elements that are actually both true. The oneness of creation can never be discounted. There is a fundamental "law" or nature (or tattva/truth) of existence that can never be overrode. Law is just a term that can be understood as something that means it cannot be changed, it is immovable, it is the way that things are. It is also inconceivable. As Ra mentions that at some point a seeker accepts that one cannot fully understand everything, as though it is a necessary part of the path of seeking that one must practically acknowledge that. I could find the quote directly, but if you remember it, you'll know what I'm referencing.
If the oneness and difference is confusing, I'll explain with some LOO terminology. We are spirit/mind/body complexes, perhaps part of or directly a type of sub-sub-logos within the grand Logos. There is the One Infinite Creator that we are one with and yet we are servants of the Creator, just as Ra asserts itself as humble servants of the Law of One/The One Infinite Creator. There is nothing else to serve but the Creator. So there is an inconceivable oneness and difference that occurs; we cannot fathom the full working of the universal Law of existence, but we can have a semblance of understanding that the Law is there and how it works to some degree.
Everything comes from the One. "There is no multiplicity to the Law of One", only distortions. That's really good.
