Evade it?  Why should I evade it if it has no effect on the game as it stands now?  Hell, if the Administrator himself isn't compelled to pay attention to Immutable Rules, what possible affect can they have that requires evading?

"Immutable Rules may not have any effect on any part of the Game defined, governed, or
regulated by non-Immutable Rules, and no game entity or the Administrator is
compelled by Rule 10 to recognize the effects of Immutable Rules"

Since the current body of (presumably) non-immutable rules defines the entirety of the game, what possible meaningful immutable rule can be made?

Think you've painted yourself into a corner this time.
