1. In the rule “Portal Procedure”, for step three of the Atomic Action—

Change the title of the “Dynastic Rules” section of the ruleset to “Dynastic Rules [Para]”. Create two new sections in the ruleset, called “Dynastic Rules [Alpha]” and “Dynastic Rules [Prime]”. Place copies of all rules, apart from those mandated to be included in the Para Ruleset by the rule called “Divergence”, in the Alpha Ruleset and the Prime Ruleset, and then remove the rules that have been so copied from the Para Ruleset. Add the [Para] tag to all rule titles in the Para Ruleset, the [Alpha] tag to all rule titles in the Alpha ruleset and the [Prime] tag to all rule titles in the Prime Ruleset.

substitute—

Change the title of the “Dynastic Rules” section of the ruleset to “Dynastic Rules [Para]”. Create two new sections in the ruleset, called “Dynastic Rules [Alpha]” and “Dynastic Rules [Prime]”. Place in the Alpha Ruleset and in the Prime Ruleset copies of all Dynastic Rules, with the exception of the rule “Portal Procedure” and those rules that the rule “Dynastic Rulesets” mandates to be included in the Para Ruleset, and then remove from the Para Ruleset the rules that have been so copied. Add the “[Para]” tag to all rule titles in the Para Ruleset, the “[Alpha]” tag to all rule titles in the Alpha Ruleset and the “[Prime]” tag to all rule titles in the Prime Ruleset.

In step four, for the second subparagraph—

Replicate all of the information currently held on the Scientists page of the wiki on the Scientists [Alpha] and Scientists [Prime] pages, clearing any other data that might be present. Remove any data relating to the Prime Universe from the Scientists [Alpha] page, and any data relating to the Alpha Universe from the Scientists [Prime] page. Ensure that both Scientists pages are embedded in the blog sidebar.

substitute—

Replicate all of the information currently held on the Scientists page of the wiki onto the Scientists [Alpha] and Scientists [Prime] pages, clearing any pre-existing data that might be present in these two pages. Remove from the Scientists [Alpha] page any data relating to the Prime Universe, and from the Scientists [Prime] page any data relating to the Alpha Universe. Ensure that both Scientists pages are embedded in the blog sidebar.

2. In the rule “Dynastic Rulesets”, in the third paragraph, for “with the exception of any rules listed to be contained in the Para Ruleset” substitute “with the exception of any rules listed in the previous paragraph as comprising the Para Ruleset”.

3. In the rule “Portals”, for “They are tracked on the Scientists wiki page” substitute “They are tracked on both Scientists pages of the wiki”.

I mean no disrespect to Josh (and the customs of BlogNomic), but this is time-sensitive and I may need to be away from my computer soon, so I cannot wait until Hiatus is over to post it. (The CfJ is still legal, so I suppose it’s just a question of propriety.)

Divergence problems I’ve spotted:

a) In renaming the rule “Divergence”, I forgot to update one reference thereto.
b) “Portal Procedure” is supposed to be repealed at the end of Divergence… But its copies in the other two rulesets probably won’t, so it must be exempted from said copying.
c) By the way, that is “copies of all rules”, which might be interpreted to include the entire Ruleset rather than just Dynastic Rules, so it needs to change as well.
d) The Portals rule is no longer in a Universe Ruleset, and Portals affect both Universes equally; it must therefore be clarified that Portals go on both Scientists wikipages.
e) The wording is ambiguous in a few other places.

The Divergence test I’ve conducted is here; I haven’t included the changes I’m proposing here, but in completing the test I did “overlook” the errors I aim to address with this CfJ.

[Josh] I understand your distaste, but there’s such a great appetite to open a Portal that we’re in our third Jenkins proposal right now. I couldn’t have made this as a proposal unless that one were killed first.
