ID: 8530
Title: No Honour
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: nix
Co-authors: Jason
Repeal R2510, "Such is Karma".
[Karma gets rare, sporadic usage and I'd prefer not to maintain it if
it's not going to be used. I'm also open to supporting efforts to revive
it, but I don't have the time/interest to write such proposals myself
right now.]

ID: 8531
Title: Patent Title Restoration v2
Adoption index: 1.5
Author: Jason
Co-author(s):
Amend Rule 649 by replacing "A Patent Title is a legal title given to a
person in recognition of the person's distinction" with "A Patent Title
is a legal title held by an entity in recognition of eir distinction".
[The current version could plausibly be read to strip patent titles when
an entity ceases to be a person. This makes it so that patent titles can
be held by all entities, but can only be awarded to persons. The
requirement on personhood/citizenship is explicit for most awarding
methods (including the Herald's general method), while the other methods
require 2 Agoran consent, which should be enough to prevent them going
to non-persons if we don't want them to as a group. There's not really
an easy place to put an explicit restriction, because some of the 2
Agoran consent methods are at Power 3, while the patent titles rule is
at Power 1.5.]
Award all Patent Titles to eir former holders that were lost solely due
to the entity not being a person (under any current or former definition
of "person"), other than Hero of Agora Nomic or Grand Hero of Agora Nomic.
[Don't try to award HAN/GHAN because it seems unlikely they were ever
stripped and because this proposal doesn't have high enough AI to do so.]

Title: Personhood Revisited
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: nix
Co-author(s): Gaelan, Aris
Amend R869 by replacing:
Any entity that is or ever was an organism generally capable of
freely originating and communicating independent thoughts and
ideas is a person. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, no other
entities are persons.
with:
Every intelligence is a person. A group of persons can elect to
create a composite person, which is in eirself a person for all
Agoran purposes. A person cannot become a player if e is part of a
composite person that is already a player. A composite person
cannot become a player if any part of em is already a player. A
person does not ever cease to be a person for the purposes of
Agora.
[This reworks and combines versions put forth by both Aris and Gaelan.]
