I submit, but do not pend, the following proposal:
{
Title: Personhood Revisited
Power: 3.0
Author: nix
Co-Authors: Gaelan, Aris
Amend R869 by replacing:
Any entity that is or ever was an organism generally capable of
freely originating and communicating independent thoughts and
ideas is a person. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, no other
entities are persons.
with:
Every intelligence is a person. A group of persons can elect to
create a composite person, which is in eirself a person for all
Agoran purposes. A person cannot become a player if e is part of a
composite person that is already a player. A composite person
cannot become a player if any part of em is already a player. A
person does not ever cease to be a person for the purposes of
Agora.
[This reworks and combines versions put forth by both Aris and Gaelan.]
