If “Auto-Look Again” passed, replace the final two paragraphs of the rule “Automation” with:-
The generator may not be used if it is Obsolete. The generator is not Obsolete. The Computer may replace the string “is not Obsolete” with “is Obsolete”, and vice versa, in the previous sentence, at any time.
To “Animals, Vegetables and Minerals”, add a paragraph:-
The Computer may change the Description of any Discovery at any time, to a single sentence of no more than twenty words.
It’s concerning me that if we change “the process of creating Locations” without thinking about it, the generator becomes silently illegal. (Arguably the previous proposal is doing this immediately by amending how plants are named, and two of us didn’t even notice that.) This lets the Computer switch it on and off at will, and for proposals to switch it off when they are aware that they’re altering the process.
And while we’re here, maybe I should just fill out these blank descriptions.
