Caller's Arguments:
Assigning a rule number appears to be a regulated action, as its
performance is "limited" by Rules 2141 and 2140 (since Rule numbers are
explicitly made substantive aspects of Rules, and Rules are
instruments). No Rule provides an explicit mechanism by which to set the
number of a Rule. Therefore, under Rule 2125, there is no mechanism to
assign rule numbers to rules (except by proposal most likely). Even if a
mechanism such as by annoucement were to be inferred, the standard for
by announcement has not been met, as the Rulekeepor has never announced
that e is assigning, e has only published rulesets with the numbers
labeled.
Caller's Evidence:
Rule 2141/14 (Power=3.1)
Role and Attributes of Rules
A rule is an enduring statute. Every rule has a power between 0.1
and 4.0, inclusive. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, it is
IMPOSSIBLE to enact a rule with power outside this range, or to
change the power of an existing rule to a nonzero value outside
this range. The set of all currently-existing rules is called the
ruleset.
Every rule shall have an ID number, distinct among current and
former rules, to be assigned once by the Rulekeepor.
Every rule shall have a title to aid in identification. If a rule
ever does not have a title, then the Rulekeepor CAN and SHALL
assign a title to it by announcement in a timely fashion.
For the purposes of rules governing modification of instruments,
the text, power, ID number, and title of a rule are all
substantive aspects of the rule. However, rules to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Rulekeepor CAN set rule aspects as described
elsewhere in this rule.
Rule 2140/4 (Power=3)
Power Controls Mutability
Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, no entity with power below
the power of this rule can
1. cause an entity to have power greater than its own.
2. adjust the power of a statute with power greater than its own.
3. set or modify any other substantive aspect of an instrument
with power greater than its own except as otherwise provided
in this rule. A "substantive" aspect of a statute is any
aspect that affects the statute's operation.
An ephemeral instrument is bound by prohibitions and limitations
specified in rules of lower power, unless it explicitly overrides
those prohibition(s) as provided for in other rules.
Rule 2125/12 (Power=3)
Regulated Actions
An action is regulated by a body of law if (1) its performance is
limited, allowed, enabled, or permitted by that body of law; (2)
that body of law describes the circumstances under which it would
succeed or fail; or (3) it would, as part of its effect, modify
information for which some person bound by that body of law is
required, by that body of law, to be a recordkeepor.
If a body of law regulates an action, then to the extent that
doing so is within its scope, that body of law prevents the action
from being performed except as described within it, including by
limiting the methods to perform that action to those specified
within it. A body of law does not proscribe any action which it
does not regulate.
