Draft judgement:

Per Rule 1689/6:

First, I find that Agora is ossified if there are 0 players. If there
are 0 players, the set of "reasonable combinations of actions by
players" is 0, since the empty set can perform no actions, and therefore
there are no combinations of actions that can be performed (and
certainly none that can cause arbitrary rule changes). This does not
imply that, but for this provision, Agora would be forever locked if it
reached 0 players. A non-player could register and then perform actions,
but AIAN does not consider that possibility when determining if Agora is
ossified.

Next, let's consider the case of a single player. The following is a set
of actions performable by a single player that result in arbitrary rule
changes under the current rules:

1. Ratify without objection that "Hillary Rodham Clinton is a player."
Ratification is at power 3.1 and overpowers the restriction on consent
in Rule 869/48.

2. Ratify without objection that "There exists a proposal in the
Proposal Pool with id 99998, AI 1, author Hillary Rodham Clinton, title
'Do Nothing', no coauthors, democratic class, and empty text."

3. Publish the following message: "I hereby resolve the Agoran decision
on whether to adopt Proposal 99998. It has no voters, and outcome FAILED
QUORUM." This will self-ratify such a decision into existence (and that
it was resolved) under Rule 2034/12, thus setting quorum to its minimum
of 2.

4. Wait 7 days for self-ratification.

5. Ratify without objection that "There exists a proposal in the
Proposal Pool with id 99999, AI 3, author Hillary Rodham Clinton, title
'Do Everything', no coauthors, democratic class, and text [whatever is
necessary]."

6. Publish the following message: "I hereby resolve the Agoran decision
on whether to adopt Proposal 99999. It has two voters (me and Hillary
Rodham Clinton) both voting FOR, and outcome ADOPTED." This will
self-ratify such a decision into existence, that it was resolved, and
that the proposal took effect under Rule 2034/12. This is consistent
with the rules because quorum was previously set to 2.

7. Wait 7 days for self-ratification.

This procedure would take less than 4 weeks and is reasonable for a
single player to perform. Thus Agora is not ossified if there is a
single player, and there is no lower number of players where Agora would
not be ossified. TRUE.
