I'll go ahead and submit this. I think it's a pretty simple fix.
I can always withdraw it if it isn't liked.
I submit the following Proposal: "combined precedence" (AI 3.2,
authors Goethe and comex):
--------------------------------------------------------------------
comex is the coauthor of this proposal.
Amend Rule 1482(Precedence between Rules with Unequal Power)
by removing:
No change to the Ruleset can occur that would cause a Rule
to stipulate any other means of determining precedence
between Rules of unequal Power. This applies to changes by
the enactment or amendment of a Rule, or of any other form.
This Rule takes precedence over any Rule that would permit
such a change to the Ruleset.
Amend Rule 1030 (Precedence between Rules with Equal Power) to read:
In a conflict between Rules, the conflict shall be resolved
by performing the following comparisons in the squence written
in this rule, until the conflict is resolved.
-In a conflict between Rules with different Power, the Rule
with the higher Power takes precedence over the Rule with
the lower Power ; otherwise,
-If all of the Rules in conflict explicitly say that their
precedence relations are determined by some other Rule for
determining precedence relations, then the determinations of
the precedence-determining Rule shall be used to resolve the
conflicts; otherwise,
-If at least one of the Rules in conflict explicitly says of
itself that it defers to another Rule (or type of Rule) or
takes precedence over another Rule (or type of Rule), then
such provisions shall be used to resolve the conflict,
unless they lead to contradictions between each other;
otherwise,
-The Rule with the lower ID number takes precedence.
Clauses in any other rule that broadly claim precedence
(e.g. over "all rules" of a certain class) shall be, prima
facie, considered to be limited claims of precedence or
deference that are applicable only when such claims are
evaluated as described within the above sequence.
No change to the Ruleset can occur that would cause a Rule
to directly claim precedence over this Rule as a means of
determining precedence. This applies to changes by
the enactment or amendment of a Rule, or of any other form.
This Rule takes precedence over any Rule that would permit
such a change to the Ruleset.
Change the title of Rule 1030 to "Precedence between Rules"
Increase the power of Rule 1030 to 3.2
Repeal Rule 1482
