BUS: Proto: Explain dependent actions more clearly

[Edward Murphy]

Here's my own attempt at making dependent actions read more simply and
naturally, or at least with fewer sentences with lists in the middle.

Proto: Explain dependent actions more clearly
(AI = 3, co-author = Gaelan)

Amend Rule 1728 (Dependent Actions) to read:

  The following are methods of dependent action. A document
  authorizing someone (the performer) to perform an action by one
  of these methods thereby authorizes them to perform the action by
  announcement if all associated conditions are true. (If a
  condition is false, e may still be authorized by other means.)

  1. With T Notice, where T is a time period (syn. "With Notice"
 for T = 4 days).

  2. Without N Objections, where N is a positive integer (syn.
 "Without Objection" for N = 1).

  3. With N Support, where N is a positive integer (syn. "With
 Support" for N = 1).

  4. With N Agoran Consent, where N is an integer multiple of 0.1
 with a minimum of 1 (syn. "With Agoran Consent" for N = 1).

  Conditions:

  1. A person (the initiator) conspicuously and without obfuscation
 announced intent to perform the action, unambiguously and
 clearly specifying the action and method(s) (including the
 value of N and/or T for each method).

  2. The delay between initiation and performance is at most 14
 days. If the action is With T Notice, or depends on objections
 (T = same as With Notice), the delay is at least T.

  3. If the performer is not the initiator, at least one of the
 following is true:

 a. The initiator was authorized to perform the action due to
    holding a rule-defined position now held by the performer.

 b. The initiator is authorized to perform the action, the
    action depends on support, the performer has supported the
    intent, and the rule authorizing the performance does not
    explicitly prohibit supporters from performing it.

  4. Agora is Satisfied with the announced intent, as defined by
 other rules.

  5. If a set of conditions for the performance of the action was
 given in the announcement of intent to perform the action, all
 those conditions are met.

  The performer SHOULD publish a list of supporters if the action
  depends on support, and a list of objectors if it depends on
  objections.

Amend Rule 2124 (Agoran Satisfaction) to read:

  A Supporter of a dependent action is an eligible entity who has
  publicly posted (and not withdrawn) support (syn. "consent") for
  an announcement of intent to perform the action. An Objector to a
  dependent action is an eligible entity who has publicly posted
  (and not withdrawn) an objection to the announcement of intent to
  perform the action.

  The entities eligible to support or object to a dependent action
  are, by default, all players, subject to modification by the
  document authorizing the dependent action. However, the previous
  sentence notwithstanding, the initiator of the intent is not
  eligible to support it.

  Agora is Satisfied with an intent to perform a specific action if
  and only if:

  1. If the action is to be performed Without N Objections, it has
 fewer than N objectors.

  2. If the action is to be performed With N support, it has at
 least N supporters.

  3. If the action is to be performed with N Agoran Consent, the
 ratio of supporters to objectors is greater than N, or it has
 at least one supporter and no objectors.

  4. If the action depends on objections, no objection to it has
 been withdrawn within the past 24 hours.

  5. The Speaker has not objected to it within the past 48 hours.

  A person CANNOT support or object to an announcement of intent
  before the intent is announced, or after e has withdrawn the same
  type of response.

Interpreting the somewhat informal date/time spec as "on or about

(presumably caller's intent, and if not then e can submit another):

The only public message from G. that meets this spec is the one
quoted by the caller (archive link in evidence). To the best of my
knowledge, it was genuinely an empty message (unregulated), and
neither that message nor any non-public message e may have sent
around the same time triggered any non-obvious recordkeeping duties or
the like. As usual, if evidence to the contrary later emerges (e.g. a
relevant encrypted contract is revealed), then this judgement should be
appealed accordingly.

FALSE.

Ah, that explains it. I withdraw the above-quoted CFJ and accept the
