Here's my reading of the rules:
======================================================================== 
========
r2-5/0:
If two rules would cause a change to the gamestate to occur at the same  
time (such as "at the end of each nweek"), then the rule that takes  
precedence over the other has its change happen before the other.
======================================================================== 
========
r2-2/0:
If the two rules are in different Sections of the same Rulebook, the  
one with the lower Section number shall take precedence.
======================================================================== 
========
r3-3/19:
At the end of the Voting Period of each nweek, every Open Proposal  
becomes Historical.
======================================================================== 
========
r2-6/2:
When a Motion changes from Open to Historical, it is said to have  
Resolved.
[[stuff about votes]]
When a Motion Passes, the changes to the game state listed within it  
are made. If more than one Motion Passes at the same time, the changes  
are made sequentially in ascending serial number order.
======================================================================== 
========
r3-4/8:
When a Proposal changes from Open to Historical, each player whose  
Final Vote on it was not ABSTAIN gains 1A.

When a Proposal Passes, the proposal's owner gains Amplitude equal to  
the sum of all Final Votes on the proposal that were positive.
======================================================================== 
========

So, at the end of the Voting Period, every Open prop becomes Historical  
(3-3) and thus resolves (2-6). Now the changes are implemented in  
ascending serial number order (2-6), and at exactly the same time  
everyone gets Amplitude (3-4).

Since r2-6 takes precedence over r3-4 (by r2-2), the effects of r2-6  
all happen before the effects of r3-4 (by r2-5).

Hence, each prop has its gamestate changing effects in order, meaning  
that p214 gives Amplitude, and then p266 removes them all; after this  
has all happened, we all simultaneously gain all the Amplitude from  
voting under r3-4 (and all form bonuses from r3-9), so these bonuses  
are unaffected by p266.

Thus, IMHO, we should begin next nweek each having exactly as much  
Amplitude as r3-4 and r3-9 say we should get.
