In the “Style” rule, replace
If, in a sequence of changes, the same state is reached twice, the changes cease having an effect, and no more automatic changes occur until after a manual change.
with
If, in a sequence of changes, the same state is reached twice, the changes cease having an effect, and no more automatic changes occur until after a manual change, or a Musician is added to or removed from the GNDT.

If a change of Tempo occurs resulting in three consecutive Musicians playing at the same Tempo, the middle one’s Harmony becomes Consonant. If a change of Tempo occurs resulting in three consecutive Musicians playing at three different Tempos, the middle one’s Harmony becomes Dissonant.

If three consecutive Musicians are playing at the same Tempo, the middle one’s Harmony becomes Consonant. If three consecutive Musicians are playing at three different Tempos, the middle one’s Harmony becomes Dissonant.

If it exists, delete the last bullet point of the “Manual Changes of Style” subrule. (See Proposal: Uncluttering)
If it exists, delete the sentence “A Musician going idle, and therefore leaving the GNDT, is a manual change of Style.” from the “Style” rule.
Angry Grasshopper:
I’m still afraid of finite loops, thank you.
