Rename "Rule 104, Definition of Persons and Players" to "Rule 104, Definition of Persons, Nomics & Players" and amend it by replacing the following ANTHROPOCENTRIC delimited text to the following NOMICSENSITIVE delimited text.

ANTHROPOCENTRIC
Persons are a class of objects known as humans in the extranomic world. A player is a person who recognizes the rules of Axiom to generate authority. A player is able to fiat the citicen e controls and cause the citizen to take acts permitted by other rules in Axiom.
ANTHROPOCENTRIC

NOMICSENSITIVE
Persons are a class of objects in the extranomic world characterized by a physical, organic, primate, body and intelligence. Nomics are a class of objects in the extranomic world characterized by groups of objects organized into a game whose rules are explicitly changeable. A player is an object who recognizes the rules of Axiom to generate authority. A player is able to fiat the citicen e controls and cause the citizen to take acts permitted by other rules in Axiom.
NOMICSENSITIVE Create "Rule 116, Conventions For Other Nomics" with the following BEVERYCAREFUL delimited text.

BEVERYCAREFUL
Section 1 Limiting Puppet Nomics

The group of objects organized into a nomic are its participants. Each nomic has a difference degree with respect to any other nomic. The difference degree of some nomic is found by counting its participants and then subtracting one for each of these participants who is also a participant of the nomic the difference degree is being found with respect to.

No nomic may join as a player if it has a difference degree less than four with repsect to any other nomic which is already a player.

Any player of Axiom can request that any player which is a nomic provide a list of its participants, and the player which is a nomic must comply. If it is ever accurately pointed out that a player which is a nomic's Difference Degree is less than four with repect to any other nomic which is a player, then the nomic with the offending difference degree is considered to have rebuked the rules of Axiom and its citizen is made Dead.

Section 2 Limiting Transient Nomics

For a nomic to join Axiom as a player, it must be determinable both that that nomic has had a presence on the Internet for at least 60 days prior to eir becoming a player of Axiom, and that that nomic has a difference degree of more than 2 with respect to Axiom itself.

Section 3 The Representative Of A Nomic

For a nomic to join as a player, it must make explicit provisions in its own ruleset, for some distinct person to represent that that nomic. This person is known as that nomic's representative. A nomic's representative fiats the nomic's citizen in the same manner that a player who is a person does, except that if a nomic representative controls a citizen on eir own, then actions they announce are assumed to be for eir own citizen and not the nomic's.

It is the job of a nomic to police eir own representative. The only extra-Axiom thing Axiom need worry about when a person fiats a nomic's citizen is whether that person is in fact the representative of the nomic.
