Add a new dynastic rule called “Challenges” and give it the following text
Each Atom has a positive integer number of Challenge Points, which is by default 10. If an Atom does not currently have a pending Challenge Post they may spend between 1 and 5 Challenge Points to make a Challenge Post. A Challenge Post is a Story Post whose title consist of “Challenge Post (Y)” and whose content consists of a single theorem where Y is the number of Challenge Points the Atom spent. The Challenge Post is then said to be in the Open Phase.
If a Challenge Post is in the Open Phase, Atoms (other than the one who made the Challenge Post) may comment on a Challenge Post with what they believe to be logical sequence of deductions that leads to the theorem in the Challenge Post from existing Truths.
If a Challenge Post has been in the Open Phase for 48 hours, the Atom who made the post may add a comment what they believe to be a logical sequence of deductions that leads to the theorem in the Challenge Post from existing Truths. The Challenge Post then enters the Voting Phase.
If a Challenge Post is in the Voting Phase, all Atoms may comment on the Challenge Post with the name of the Atom who they feel was first to actually supply a logical sequence of deductions that leads to the theorem in the Challenge Post from existing Truths. If they do not feel any Atom made such a comment, they may instead vote with the AGAINST marker. Atoms may change their vote by making another comment.
If a Challenge Post has been in the Voting Phase for 48 hours, any Atom may resolve it. If a single Atom received more Votes for them than any other Atom or AGAINST votes, they receive the number of Challenge Points which the original Atom spent forming the Challenge. If the Atom who made the Challenge Post receives the most Votes, they instead receive twice the number of Challenge Points they spent. If AGAINST votes had the most or tied for the most, no Atom receives any Challenge Points. If multiple Atoms received tied for the most votes (and AGAINST did not tie for the most), then of the tied Atoms, the one who commented first on the Challenge Post receives the Challenge Points. The Challenge Post then enters the Closed Phase.
If a Challenge Post has been in the Open Phase for 96 hours, it automatically enters the Closed Phase.
If a Challenge Post is not in the Closed Phase, it is considered Pending.
The logical sequences of deductions used in response to Challenge Posts may not exceed 50 steps.
Probably has some issues. But I think the basic idea has merit. Basically I think it would be cool if instead of just being like “Oh I proved that 1 + 1 = 2” you can go “I can prove that 1 + 1 = 2, and am willing to stake 3 points on the fact that no one else can prove it”
