[Spoon-business] Reality Corrected

[Daniel Lepage <dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hereby create a new Society, entitled "Reality". I am the only member 
of this Society, at the moment. This Society has a charter, which reads 
as follows:

{{
__Reality__

1.
The name of this Club is Reality.

The Executor in Chief, or Bob, is an External Influence who consents to 
be governed by the Statutes, fulfills all requirements for Bobhood 
specified by the Statutes, and has become the Executor in Chief in a 
manner specified by the Statutes.

An External Power may be the Executor in Chief if and only if the 
Statutes state that it is the Executor in Chief.

The person known as Daniel P. Lepage is the Executor in Chief; if at 
any time e is not Bob, e becomes Bob.

2.
A Club Object is anything which exists within the context of the Club, 
that is, its existence must be sanctioned by the charter; the term 
Object shall be an unambiguous synonym for Club Object in all Club 
documents except where specified otherwise. [[Note that this does not 
require the object's definition to be in the charter; an object could 
be defined by reference to an outside Document]]

An External Power is anything which exists independently of the Club.

An External Influence is an External Power which is also an Object. [[ 
i.e., something that exists outside of the Club but is also 
acknowledged by the statutes as influencing the state of the Club, and 
thus exists within the Club as well, such as an Acolyte.]]

A Club Document is a body of text specified as a Club Document by the 
statutes. Club Documents are Club Objects. [[ which is true by 
definition, but we might as well be safe and state it.]]

3.
Statutes are Club Documents. Statutes may only be modified as outlined 
in the Charter.

The Charter is the collection of all extant Statutes.

4.
An Acolyte is an External Influence who consents to be governed by the 
statutes, fulfills all requirements for Acolytehood specified by the 
statutes, and has become an Acolyte in a manner specified by the 
statutes.

An External Force may become an Acolyte by sending a message to the 
Executor in Chief containing a request to become an Acolyte and a 
uniquely identifying name that it wishes to be known by. It may do this 
if and only if it fulfills the following requirements:
	* 	It is capable of passing the Turing Test
	* 	It has a working e-mail address
An Acolyte may cease to be an Acolyte by Forfeiting the Club; this must 
be done by notifying the Executor in Chief. The Executor in Chief must 
report the Forfeiture as soon as possible if this happens.

No restrictions may be placed on when an Acolyte may forfeit; any 
Acolyte may forfeit the Club at any time.

5.
There may exist entities called Nomic Games. Each Nomic Game has any 
number of other entities associated with it; these entities are called 
its members. The members of a Nomic Game need not be Acolytes.

Nomic Games may only take actions which the statutes permit them to.

Each Nomic Game may have a Ruleset. A Ruleset consists of a list of 
rules its members must obey. Nomic Games may change their Rulesets, but 
only as described within their Rulesets.

6.
There exists a Nomic Game within Reality called B Nomic. Its Ruleset is 
described in the listing at 
http://www.nomic.net/~g6/static/statutes.html.

7.
Any Acolyte may suggest a change to the Statutes by notifying Bob of 
that change; it is up to Bob whether the change occurs or not.
