MEETYOURNEIGHBOR There exists a distinct outside world full of things which are not rule defined but nevertheless affect this game. Human beings are and have traditionally been such things. Other nomic games are these things as well when a system for their effects exists. This is a rule in the game of Ackanomic and Berserker Nomic. Moreover, it is the same rule in both nomics and changes in both places when either nomic changes this rule. Changes to this rule only occur when such changes have been reported in both nomics.
