Re: [s-b] [s-d] Proposal: Use Sequential Rule Numbers


I revise my proposal titled "Use Sequential Rule Numbers" as follows:

Use Sequential Rule Numbers
{
Amend Rule 1-8 to read:
{{
Rules are Game Documents that define how this game is played. Each
Rule must have a number and may have a name. Rule are numbered from a
set that initially contains all positive integers and zero. When a new
rule is created, the Minister of Law shall assign it the lowest number
available in the set, and then remove that number from the set. Each
rule number shall be prefixed with the notation "3E" (for Third Era)
to distinguish it from past rules in previous eras of B Nomic.

Rules may be contained in named Sections.

There exists a ministry known as the Ministry of Law. The Minister of
Law, also known as the Rulekeeper, is responsible for maintaining a
Public Display of the current Rules and Victory Conditions.

The Rulekeeper may, as a Game Action, do any of the following:

   * Create a Section.
   * Remove a Section, causing all Rules in that section to no longer
be contained by a Section.
   * Move a Rule into or out of a Section.
}}

One second after the adoption of this proposal, each rule in the
ruleset is renumbered. Beginning with rule 0, and continuing
sequentially by section number and then by rule number, each rule is
re-assigned a new sequential integer number beginning with the number
0.
