Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

In the Appendix, in the section “Clarifications” in the rule “Names”, reword

Within the ruleset, a word only refers to the name of a Prisoner if it is explicitly stated that it refers to a Prisoner’s name.

as

Within the ruleset, a word only refers to the name of a Prisoner or to the name of a Gamestate Tracking Entity if it is explicitly stated that it refers to such name.

In the Appendix, in the section Keywords, add a Keyword “Name of a Prisoner” with the text

Name of a Prisoner is their current Blognomic account name

Add a Keyword “Name of an Idle Prisoner” with the text

Name of an Idle Prisoner is their current Blognomic account name

Fixing the thing that led to the glorious end of Josh X dynasty, and also clarifying things about names (see Josh’s comment to that CFJ about “Set of all names”)

Wait, can this be interpreted in a way that rule “Increase Sentence by 1” is illegal and “Increase GNDT field with the name “Sentence” by 1” is legal?

If so, I’ll SK and think.

Good point, the ruleset doesn’t define what a “Gamestate Tracking Entity” actually is. Maybe “value of a piece of gamestate” instead of “name of a Gamestate Tracking Entity”? We should tread very carefully here, though.
