Proposal: Return on Investment

Times out 6-0 and is enacted -SingularByte
Note: No changes were made as a result of this proposal, due to there not being a rule Probulator Operations. Rather, it is called Probulator Operation

In “Probulator Operations” replace

which is the next output that the Function should return if used

with

which is generally the next output that the Function should return if used (though may not be, as the actual output is determined by the method)

and

When a Researcher uses the Probulator to determine an outcome, they must carry out the method of the specified Function as an atomic action.

with

When a Researcher uses the Probulator to determine an outcome, they must carry out the method of the specified Function as an atomic action using the result it returns as the outcome.

Adding a bit of clarity to how these work, as I think as written its a bit different from how people are assuming they work.

fyi I do wanna get MadisonSilver’s opinion on if the whole “forecast value output is a suggestion not a rule” meets out they see the dynasty playing out. I think Josh’s proposal highlights the value it adds, but if Madison is like “no I want the forecast value to always be returned” I do wanna be able to edit this proposal to fix it that way. But hopefully they are cool with this approach.
