Nomicron's ruleset, AFAICT, has a grid not unsimilar to our own, 
although not as heavily developed... it seems like it would not be 
difficult to agree on a set of standard objects allowable on both 
Grids...

One idea I had regarding interaction between Nomics came while looking 
at the ruleset to Autonomic. It was very simple, having only five 
rules, and I don't remember exactly what they were, but it was 
something to the effect that each player had the power to create 
personal rules which applied only to them, and that an event happened 
in the main game if and when the respective rulesets of a majority of 
all players involved in the event agreed that it would happen.

Maybe it's just 'cause I'm tired, but that strikes me as an ideal 
ruleset for a multinomic game...

Aside from that, there was some discussion on the Nomic Bulletin Board 
at one point about the feasibility of internomic trading, and perhaps 
even internomic war games, like a massive game of Risk or Diplomacy.

Any thoughts?
