Amend Rule 105 (Rule Changes) by replacing the first paragraph with:

Amend Rule 2141 (Role and Attributes of Rules) by appending the
following paragraph after the first one:

      Mode is a rule switch with values Normal (default) and
      Define-Only, tracked by the Rulekeepor.  Notwithstanding the
      above and the content of such rules, the scope of Define-Only
      rules is limited to providing definitions intended for use by
      other rules.  If a Define-Only rule would have any other effect,
      that effect is nullified; however, if possible, it should be
      interpreted so that it does not have any other effect (e.g. by
      interpreting other effects as part of the definition, not
      enforced by the rule itself).

[The last part is important: it prevents things like "thereby allows
em" in Rule 1728 from being interpreted as "thereby *does
successfully* allow em, with Power-3 force".  I've always been unsure
about that wording.  Similarly, it should ensure that "it comes to
have its default value" from the Switches rule is part of the
definition of a switch, rather than something enforced at Power-2.]

Amend Rule 105 (Rule Changes) by appending the following item to the
list of kinds of rule change:

      (f) change the Mode of a rule.

Change the Mode of each of the following Rules to Define-Only:

Rule 217 (Interpreting the Rules)
Rule 2150 (Personhood)
Rule 2319 (Messy Statements)
Rule 754 (Definition Definitions)
Rule 2152 (Mother, May I?)
Rule 1728 (Dependent Actions)
Rule 2280 (Implicit Votes)
Rule 2268 (Entanglement)
Rule 1023 (Common Definitions)
Rule 2146 (Indices)
Rule 2162 (Switches)
Rule 2124 (Agoran Satisfaction)
Rule 2166 (Assets)

Amend Rule 1688 by removing the last paragraph, and create a new
Power-3, Define-Only rule titled "Security" with the just-removed
paragraph as its text.
