I would like to include as nomics:

-- Contracts (Agoran and otherwise) which have nomic-nature.
(Including pledges, contests, and partnerships.)
I would like to exclude:
-- First-class persons.
-- Implicitly renegotiable situations (eg, casual chess).
-- Pebbles.
-- Systems which provide only for limited self-amendment, such as Fluxx.

A nomic is a system of rules that includes formal provisions for
general-purpose self-amendment.
