[Spoon-business] Ruling on CFI 1105


Statement:

Points, shillings, units of raw material, big sticks, balls of wax,
athames, piles of kindling, towels, large and small lumps of scrap metal,
pinball guns, gnomes, beer cans, alcoholic beverages, shears, cotton
sponges, bonus boxes, shares of stock and airspeeders ceased to exist as
of the beginning of nweek 24.

Analysis:

The above objects, within their respective types, are indistinguishable
from one another. They are all defined with rules whose Chutzpah is 1.

Rule 2 states all game entities must have uniquely identifying names.

Therefore, the objects mentioned above did not exist as of the beginning
of nweek 24.

Ruling: FALSE

Analysis: Those objects do have uniquely identifying names: they can be
numbered "Glotmorf's Point 1" through "Glotmorf's Point n". The rule
doesn't say any object without a uniquely identifying name suddenly
disappears, especially when they can be given obvious names. The Grid
objects can be named by their Grid square. All that happens is that there
must be a way to refer to any one specifically-and there is, by number.

	"We look at the world through windows on which have been drawn
grids (concepts). Different philosophies use different grids. A culture is
a group of people with rather similar grids. Through a window we view
chaos, and relate it to the points on our grid, and thereby understand it.
The ORDER is in the GRID."
