Part 1: Add a dynastic rule entitled “Therefore, Socrates is mortal”, as follows:
An Argument is a type of Proposal that does not introduce one or more Hooks, but instead proposes to establish a meaning for one or more Hooks through deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning or both. In order for a Proposal to be an Argument, it must be identified as such in the title of the blog post that comprises it. An Argument does not count as a Proposal for purposes of the phrase “unless the Blognomicer already has 2 Proposals pending” in Rule 1.3, but no Blognomicer may have more than X Arguments pending at any time. For example, if the Ruleset provides that “All dogs go to heaven”, and also provides that “Happiness is a warm puppy”, then an Argument, if it were made and enacted, could establish that “Happiness goes to heaven” (because happiness is a puppy as established by the Ruleset, a puppy is a kind of dog according to the ordinary meanings of “dog” and “puppy”, and any dog goes to heaven as established by the Ruleset). There is established a section of the Dynastic Rules entitled “The Talmud” consisting of all conclusions that are established by means of Argument.
Part 2:
In Part 1, replace “X” in Part 1 with the number that appears in more EVCs to this Proposal than any other number. If no single number appears in more such EVCs, then let “X” equal one. If X equals one, then replace the phrase “X Arguments” in Part 1 with “one Argument”.
