Autonomic is a project of Nomic flavor where individual Players create their own Personal Rule sets, which define inter-Player relationships and events as well as modify the Main Rule set. | There is a mailing list which constitutes an integral part of Autonomics development. To join, send email to majordomo@got.net with the words "subscribe autonomic" in the body of the message. |
1. Precedence | A Main Rule takes precedence over another Main Rule with a higher number and over all Personal Rules. |
2. Players |
A Player is an individual human typist meeting these conditions:
one Personal Rule to the mailing list for inclusion on this page. |
3. Amendment | If a majority of the players agree to add, modify or delete a Main Rule, then that Main Rule is so altered. |
4. Elegance | There may not exist more than 10 Main Rules. |
1. There exists a Thing called JayCorp. 2. There exist 1,000,000 Things named JayBucks, initially owned by JayCorp. 3. There exist 1,000,000 Things named JayShares, initially owned by Jay. Actions taken by JayCorp shall be determined by majority shareholder vote by owners of JayShares. 4. There exists a Thing called BeachBall. The BeachBall has two properties, "Color" and "Holder". The BeachBall may be acted on in the following ways: o The Holder of the BeachBall may change its Color by notifying Jay of such transformation. o A Holder may toss it to another Player or at random. o A Player may catch the BeachBall if the Holder has tossed it to em or has tossed it at random. The first qualified Player to respond to a toss then successfully catches the BeachBall and becomes the new Holder. o Jay may arbitrarily decree "Ball Hog!", at which time Jay shall become the current Holder, and other Players that recognize the existence of the BeachBall should publicly ridicule the previous Holder. 4z. Jay hereby tosses the BeachBall at random. At which time another Player catches the BeachBall, this rule shall be purged. 5. In the event the Holder tosses the BeachBall and another Player catches it, or Jay decrees "Ball Hog!", this Rule shall be altered such that the new Holder's name is the last word of this Rule. The current BeachBall Holder is Jay. 6. In the event the Holder notifies Jay of a BeachBall Color transformation, the last sentence of this rule shall be altered such that it indicates the new appearance of the BeachBall. The current BeachBall Color is solid black. Notes: I also currently act as maintainer of this page. Cheers. --Jay

H1V: There are three types of rules. Main Rules are numbered with a plain integer. Shared rules are numbered with the letter S followed by an integer. Local rules are numbered by an H followed by an integer followed by either a "V", an "S", or an "I". A Main Rule takes precedence over a Shared rule, which takes precedence over a Local rule. A rule takes precedence over a rule of the same type with a higher number. H2V: Local rules ending in V are Visible, and must be made public to all players of autonomic. Local rules ending in S are Secret, and their text need only be made known to those people Henry wants to (although all players must be told of their existance). Rules ending in I are Inert, and have no effect on the game. H3V: Henry may amend, repeal, or renumber a rule the same way he would create one. H3V: A Shared rule is a rule acknowledged by multiple players of Autonomic. Certain actions are known as Sharing Actions. A member of the Sharing Board may only recognize a Sharing Action when it is performed by a member of the Sharing Board. By a 2/3 vote, the Sharing Board may admit a member to the proto-Sharing Board. The Sharing Board, by a 2/3 vote, may remove a member from the Sharing Board or proto-Sharing Board. The only Sharing Action by a member of the proto-Sharing Board which may be recognized by members of the Sharing Board is nominating this rule; a member of the proto-Sharing Board who nominates this rule ceases to be a member of the proto-Sharing Board and becomes a member of the Sharing Board. Members of the Sharing Board are hereafter called members. A member may nominate a personal rule of theirs to become a Shared Rule; this is a Sharing Action. A member may unnominate a personal rule of theirs; this is a Sharing Action; if a member repeals a personal rule which they had nominate then they automatically unnominate it. If two players have nominated identical personal rules and not since unnominate them then they cease to be personal rules and become a Shared rule for those two players. If a member nominates a rule identical to a Shared rule then that member begins Sharing it. A Shared rule may only be amended, repealed, or renumbered by a unanimous vote of the members Sharing it or a 2/3 vote of the Sharing Board. Shared Rules take precedence over all rules except main rules. Shared rules are numbered with an S followed by the lowest positive integer not already assigned to a Shared Rule. I nominate H4V to become a Shared Rule.
