In the rule Probulator Operation, change “Each Material has a name (which is flavour text) and a list of Functions (which must consist only of names of Functions as detailed in subrules to this rule, and which must include at least one such Function)” to “Each Material has a name (which is flavour text), a list of Functions (which must consist only of names of Functions as detailed in subrules to this rule, and which must include at least one such Function), and a Cost (which must be a non-negative integer).”

In the same rule, change “As a daily action, a Researcher may Probe one Material by selecting one Material, selecting one of the Functions in that Material’s list, and determining an outcome using that Function of the Probulator.” to read as follows:

Some actions may specify that the performing Researcher must Use a Material as a cost of doing that action. To Use a Material, a Researcher must simply reduce their Funds by the cost of that Material. As a daily action, a Researcher may Probe one Material by selecting one Material, selecting one of the Functions in that Material’s list, and Using that Material to determine an outcome using that Function of the Probulator.

Set the Cost of the Test Qubit to 10.

Change the rule Gambling to read as follows:

As a Daily Action, an Researcher may Play Qubit Penny Poker, which is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Use the Test Qubit Material on the Qubit Entanglement function of the Probulator
* If the returned value is 1, then increase your funds by 50. Otherwise, decrease your funds by 30.

If Proposal: QEI was not enacted, skip all further steps of this proposal. Otherwise, change the rule Money Management to read as follows:

Each Researcher has a publicly tracked nonnegative integer value called “funds” which defaults to 1000.

As a Daily Action, a Researcher can initiate a Transfer, which is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Select a positive amount of their own Funds to transfer to another Researcher. This amount and the target must be publicly stated, either in the #current-dynasty channel of the BlogNomic Discord, or in a non-vote comment to an open proposal
* Reduce their own Funds by that quantity
* Use the Order Slip on the Quantum-Economic Indicator function of the Probulator
* Express the difference between the returned value and the new forecast value for the Quantum-Economic Indicator as a percentage (positive if the new forecast value is higher, negative if it is lower). Amend the amount being transferred by that percentage and complete the transfer by increasing the Funds of the target Researcher by the modified amount.

Add a new Material, called the Order Slip, with a Functions of “Qubit Entanglement, Quantum-Economic Indicator” and a Cost of 10.

If I understand this rule, you could spend 10 money to turn Qubit Entanglement to 1 and then gamble and spend another 10 money to get 30 total money as a daily action. Which is a bit of a grind. but I think that can maybe be fixed later
