Proposal 301
Fix Rule 4 typo
2 Oct 2000 03:51:30

This is a legislative order to correct the wording of rule 4.

The original (incorrect) text states:

" Rule 4/0 : Versions and Revision Numbers
Every modification to a revisiable object that does not eliminate it from
play creates a new version of it.

Revision numbers differientiate versions of revisable objects. Each time a
revisable object is altered, its revision number is incremented. The initial
revision number is 0.

0. Initial Rule, 2 October 2000"


It will be changed to:

" Rule 4/0 : Versions and Revision Numbers
Every modification to a revisable object that does not eliminate it from
play creates a new version of it.

Revision numbers differentiate versions of revisable objects. Each time a
revisable object is altered, its revision number is incremented. The initial
revision number is 0.

0. Initial Rule, 2 October 2000"

[[changed 'revisiable' to 'revisable' and 'differientiate' to
'differentiate'.]]

Proposal 302
Fix Rule 5 typo
2 Oct 2000 03:51:42

This is a legislative order to correct the wording of rule 5.

The original (incorrect) text states:

" Rule 5/0 : Serial Numbers
Every revisable object has a serial number unique for the set of objects of
its type. The serial number of a revisable object of type T is defined as
the intrerpolated string "n/r", where q is the sum of the base number for T
and the object's number, and r is the object's revision number.
[[Example: The serial number for version 0 of Rule 101 would be 101/0, while
the serial number for Rule 203, version 17 would be 203/17.]]

0. Initial Rule, 2 October 2000"


It will be changed to:

" Rule 5/0 : Serial Numbers
Every revisable object has a serial number unique for the set of objects of
its type. The serial number of a revisable object of type T is defined as
the interpolated string "n/r", where n is the sum of the base number for T
and the object's number, and r is the object's revision number.
[[Example: The serial number for version 0 of Rule 101 would be 101/0, while
the serial number for Rule 203, version 17 would be 203/17.]]

0. Initial Rule, 2 October 2000"

to 'interpolated'.]]
