At last, we have enough pieces to run a simple diagnostic test to see if the machine is working properly. The proposed test runs require the complex interactions between a stacked POW, WTS and HALT. This test has the side purpose of seeing if the Power Manifold is powerful enough to move objects. I’ll also need a CKP for support.
List:
1)POW
2)WTS
3)HALT
4)KCP
But, the HALT will stop everything before it starts since it has a 1x1 piece above it, correct?
Not if the Power Manifold triggers first, causing its conditions not to be satisfied, or if it is on top to begin with.
Right, right, since it does not all start working at once, it works by place on the workbench.
... *examines which parts will be working in the machine during the test* Bucky, you are one clever dan…
Just so you were aware of this:
The Initiation Condition of Power Manifold (POW) is:
Either or both of the following is true:
(i) Power Switch is set to “On”; or
(ii) the Initiator condition of any Part that is located in the Square directly below the Power Manifold is satisfied.
Note that condition (i) currently cannot be met since there is presently no such Part as the “Power Switch”.
Story post passes. I will add the parts once some Admin passes “Downsizing”.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

spikebrennan:
There is no part “KCP”. Did you mean “CKP”?
The initiator condition of WTS is: “There is a 1x1 piece on top of this piece, and the space to this piece’s left is empty.” Does “this piece” refer to the WTS, or to the 1x1 piece on top of the WTS?
We really need a link to the workbench from the main page. (I posted an alternate format for the workbench chart which I think is much more intuitive to edit than the one you posted.
I think we need to collapse all Positions and let anybody propose the addition of a Part to the Workbench, subject to vote. (I would suggest that a single Worker can make a proposal to add multiple pieces to the Workbench in a single Proposal.)
