How about an adaptation of the "6 thinking hats" idea?

to those who don't know what they are, its a method of thought processing


BLACK HAT - Negative thinking, worst case scenarios - the devils advocate
WHITE HAT - Objective thinking, facts and figures - calls for needed facts 
as well as stating known ones
YELLOW HAT - Positive thinking, best outcome, eventual good - the eternal 
optimist
RED HAT - Emotional context, hunches, instinct - the reactionary element
GREEN HAT - Lateral thinking, creativity, alternatives - the bringer of 
new ideas
BLUE HAT - Meta-thought, balance, goals, agendas - the neutral mediator


If you had these, then they could play different roles in the Nomic 
decision making process

Black Hats role is to point out flaws in rules and faults in actions and 
statements
White Hat has the job of defining terms, generating and tracking values, 
and identifying needed values etc
Yellow Hat looks at the best way things can be done for all concerned, the 
most agreeable outcome
Red Hat states hypotheses and theories regarding the unknown (and 
unknowable)
Green Hat looks for "outside the box" solutions to given problems
Blue Hat sets the agenda, watches things like props, makes sure everyone 
gets an equal say


I wonder if you could make this concept run the entire Nomic...?
