Axiom is instance of a game of nomic. Nomic is a game, invented by Peter Suber and popularized by Douglas Hofstadter, whose primary characteristic is the modification of its own rules.
The game has been dormant for around a year, but recently experienced a bootstrap rejuvenation. We used the pieces of the game that were still around to formally (and contiguously with the first version of the game) restart as a "minic" (minimal nomic) on April 1st, 2000. If you join Axiom you will be given vast sums of money*.
