[s-b] Proposal: Fix the Grid.

[0x44 <bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I submit the following proposal entitled "Fix the Grid":

   Replace the text of 5e48 with:

   The Grid

   The Grid consists of an infinite, two-dimensional plane of squares 
from (-inf, -inf) to (inf,inf). Each Square is identified by their (x,y) 
coordinates. Each Square has a priority list, which consists of a list 
of Colours and their non-negative integer Priority in that Square. By 
default, the Priority of each Colour in each Square is zero. If a Colour 
in a Square has a higher priority than all other Colours in that Square, 
that Square is said to be Coloured with the Colour; otherwise the Square 
is Uncoloured.

   Colours (aka Colors) are a type of Game Object, consisting of an RGB 
colour and a set of Laws. The Laws of a Colour are binding upon all 
Players Resident on Squares that are Coloured with that Colour.

   The Laws of a Colour are a type of Game Document that defines a set 
of restrictions placed upon Residents of a Square of that Law's Colour. 
Laws may define actions that a Resident on them shall or shall not do. A 
Player can be punished by Consultation for violating Laws unless the 
Laws define their own punishment for the violation. The Rules of B Nomic 
take precedence over all Laws.

   Laws must specify a Tracker for that Colour; this Tracker must keep 
track of the Laws of that Colour. Laws without such a specification, if 
not fixed within a Jiffy, cease to be the Laws of the relavent Colour 
and revert back to the default Laws. This restriction does not apply to 
the initial Laws.

   Laws may define things which a Resident on them shall or shall not 
do, and are considered Binding on all Players Resident on Squares with 
that Colour. A Colour's Laws may also define methods for changing the 
Colour of Squares of that Colour, and may also specify methods for 
causing the Colour to take Game Actions on the Grid. Laws may also 
define abstract entities (aka Artifacts) that exist only within the 
scope of the Laws.

   Artifacts are a type of Game Object that only exists within the 
Grid, and may only alter the global game state of the Grid in ways that 
are defined by the Rules, or the local game state of Squares of their 
Laws' Colour in ways that are defined by that Colour's Laws.

   The Laws for any Colour apart from Uncoloured are initially as follows:
       A Resident of a $COLOUR Square can amend these Laws with the 
unanimous consent of all other Residents of $COLOUR Squares.
  
   with $COLOUR replaced with the relevant Colour.

   Thrice per nweek, a Player may increment or decrement the Priority 
of any one COlour on their Resident Square by 1. The Laws of a Colour 
cannot in any way impede or restrict a Player's ability to perform this 
action.

=== Noughts and Crosses ===
 There exists a Ministry called the Ministry of Grid. The Minister of 
Grid is responsible for tracking the public display of the Grid, 
including the Players Resident in the Squares, and the Square's Colours.
