In the rule “Initialisation”, change

An Initialisation Key is a term that appears with bold formatting in the dynastic rules at least one time, and that is not contained in a longer Initialization Key
If there is a rule “Desires” containing the Initialisation key “Construct Housing”, then remove the sentence containing it from that rule.
If there is no rule “Initialisation Phase One”, create it as a subrule of “Initialisation” with that name and the following text:
If there are at least twice as many Initialisation Keys as there are active Machinists, the Great Machine can and should repeal this subrule.
Is “Construct” an Initialization Key that just happens to be next to the key “Housing”? That’s a bad ambiguity to let stand.

Interesting way to interpret the meaning of “term”. I suppose a Machinist’s Agenda could be invalidated if they happen to have one that contained one of the Megasystems, like System of Control, and the argument was that it counted as 3 Intialisation Keys due to having 3 “terms” and thus violated “The text string of an Agenda must include exactly 2 different Initialisation Keys.”
