I have read this thesis draft, and overall think it's a wonderfully crafted piece of nomic history. I think there's some real tact that goes into turning events like this into a narrative that can be followed from the outside. And the Conclusion honestly should be required reading for anyone designing a nomic or subgame. I will say, the vast majority of this doesn't relate to Agora. The conclusion itself is a great addition to thoughts about Nomic design, and our degrees are degrees of Nomic. And obviously that conclusion benefits greatly from some of the discussion. But a lot of it is Infinite specific. I think it would be my preference to have an abridged version that focuses on the bits relevant to the conclusions, but I'm not going to oppose this thesis based on only that. I think this could be given a degree as-is. It's fantastic work. Noting my perpetual dissatisfaction with the mechanics of the degree system, I think this work would be worthy of a Doctorate in quality but would rather give a Masters to the author since it's eir first one. -- nix Herald
