Yeah I think there's a couple conceptual mechanisms going on there. A lot of the times it's kinda like a synthesis of themes or the nature of a Heroic Spirit's legends (according to the author's reading or analysis), in her case it's said that Rule Breaker 'conceptualizes her life as the Witch Medea'. In Hollow Ataraxia her wish as a servant, after her life of tragedy and disillusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy7Q77ZD_ME, is to come back to her original home and start back. So Rule Breaker reflects or synthesizes that, a will to nullify all those experiences, all social and relationship contracts, and go back to where she once was. A reset. Which narratively speaking is also what she ultimately gets in her character arc, by finding a new, happy (sort of newlywed) life as a servant with her new master Souchiro.

It's kind of a power formed from Nasu's vision of Medea as a tragic character. Sometimes servants are able to synthesize noble phantasms based on their legends, another case would be Super Orion by the end of Atlantis, creating a new NP based on the love that defines his and Artemis' love story.

Medusa incidentally has some very derivative Noble Phantasms too, things she didn't wield or more specifically, ride in life, such as Pegasus (her NP being named after the one who actually rode him in legend), yet Pegasus is still linked to her by a genitive chain of events, such as the fact Pegasus is born from her decapitated head. Even Saber Medusa's whole theme and source of powers as a 'mother of monsters' is based on that genitive causality, specifically her genealogy giving a higher birth to both Pegasus and Chrysaor, the latter fathering Echidna who goes on to eventually mother a lot of monsters known in legend by the union with Typhon. The connection with Athena is probably due to Athena herself having a similar birth (Medusas's gaze as an Aegis is also given to Athena herself eventually), and things expanded elsewhere.
