EXPERIMENT 00046 RULE SELECTION
As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 1586
("Definition and Continuity of Entities"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking
that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.
Please send suggestions if you have them!
The text of Rule 1586 is reproduced below for convenience:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 1586/9 (Power=2)
Definition and Continuity of Entities
If multiple rules attempt to define an entity with the same name,
then they refer to the same entity. A rule-defined entity's name
CANNOT be changed to be the same as another rule-defined entity's
name.
A rule, contract, or regulation that refers to an entity by name
refers to the entity that had that name when the rule first came
to include that reference, even if the entity's name has since
changed.
If the entity that defines another entity is amended such that it
no longer defines the second entity, then the second entity and
its attributes cease to exist.
If the entity that defines another entity is amended such that it
defines the second entity both before and after the amendment, but
with different attributes, then the second entity and its
attributes continue to exist to whatever extent is possible under
the new definitions.
