An addition to Wages, 2.2.2
2.2.2 Patent Rights
When a Worker creates a Machine Part that works correctly the first time it is used in the Machine, the Worker may request Patent Rights. When Patent Rights are in force, any time the said Part works correctly in the Machine, the worker gains $5 and may once (and only once per times the part worked correctly) add $5 to eir Net Worth in the GNDT.
Working Correctly means that the initiator requirements were met and the effect caused at lease one (1) other part to meet its iniator requirements.
Enderbean:
hmm. I do like the fact that it gives incentives to people to make the machine more complicated and the parts interconnected.
But..
It makes making an infinite loop valuable. Also it causes an infinite loop of sorts in the rules. Every time the machine runs you get the ability to increase your net worth. Every time you change a GDNT tracked value (like net worth) the machine runs.
Also it seems like it might cause workers to get too much money, compared to Management.
