Reasons: I cannot find any evidence that any such Virus Report was published by Wes, and I cannot find any reason why Rule 1454 should not apply. Question: Why was this CFJ'd? Was a COE tried, and if so, what was Wes's response? Sorry if this has been discussed before; I don't recall it. -- KoJen ====================================================================== Evidence: Rule 1454/2 (Mutable, MI=1) The Virus There is a Nomic Entity called the Virus which has the effect of altering the texts of Rules, in the manner and under the conditions set out below. This process is known as "infection". The effect of the Virus on a Rule, when it has an effect, is that of a non-Proposed Amendment to that Rule. Thus, the Virus can only be effective inasmuch as it satisfies the Rules for the effectiveness of non-Proposed Rule Changes. The selection of the Rule to be infected by the Virus occurs as follows: as soon as possible after the beginning of each Nomic Week, the Rulekeepor shall select a random integer in the range [M,N], where M and N are, respectively, the numbers of the lowest and highest numbered Rules at the beginning of that week. Call a number selected in this way a Virus Number. If the Virus Number selected is the number of a Rule, then that Rule is infected as described below, and no further Virus Numbers are selected in that week. If the Virus Number is not the number of a Rule, then a new Virus Number is selected as above, unless five such Virus Numbers (none of which is the number of a Rule) have already been selected in that week. In that case, the Virus is ineffective and no Rule is infected in that week. The Rulekeepor shall publish the results of the selection process in the Public Forum within 24 hours of the completion of that process. If a Rule has been infected, e shall announce the number of that Rule. If no Rule has been infected, then e shall announce that no Rule has been infected. An infected Rule is amended in the following way, given that other Rules permit it: if the Rule does not already contain the sentence "This Rule defers to all other Rules which do not contain this sentence.", then that sentence is appended to the Rule. If the Rule already contains the sentence, then the sentence is deleted from the Rule. There is one exception to the above: if this Rule is the infected Rule, then this Rule automatically Repeals itself. ====================================================================== -*-*-*-*-*- Morendil
