Rule 440, the Entropy rule.  As a Player's entropy gets higher, e has to use words of fewer and fewer syllables (think of structure breaking down as everything collapses into chaos).  "6-6-1" uses one-syllable words -- "six six one" -- as opposed to "661" -- "six hundred sixty one".  But that's not an issue now, because numbers are exempt from the Entropy restriction.

They look fine as to form and function.  No comment on their viability as actual proposals. :)
