Flagged as enacted by Josh, by which point it had become 10-0.

Add the following as a new rule to the ruleset, entitled The Hard Rules:
The following are the Hard Rules for the Sixth Dynasty of Josh (or “Dynasty 100”). They may not be amended by any means other than a proposal and may not be superseded by any other rule. In the event of a conflict or paradox in the ruleset, the Hard Rules always take precedence.
Whenever a dynasty is referred to by number, the number related back to the chronological order as set out on the first page of the BlogNomic Wiki. This list is considered to be gamestate for the purposes of this dynasty.
===Dynastic Travel===
At any given time, each Time Monk occupies a specific dynasty from BlogNomic’s history, which is tracked in the GNDT under “Dynasty†and logged as that Dynasty’s number. This defaults to 100. A Time Monk is subject to the Dynastic Rules of the final ruleset of the Dynasty that they occupy, as well as the Core Rules, Glossary and Hard Rules of Dynasty 100. In the case of earlier Dynasties, where Core Rules and Dynastic Rules may not be mapped, the Time Buddha may make a post to the Blog detailing which rules in that Dynasty’s are considered Dynastic and while rules are considered Core.===Gamestate Mapping===
The GNDT will have a number of fields, labelled 1-10, (this number may be increased by the Time Buddha if necessary) which correspond to the GNDT fields or trackable values of each Dynasty in the order that those GNDT fields are mentioned in the ruleset. GNDT values are considered to be cross-communicable between Dynasties. Whenever a Time Monk changes Dynasty, their GNDT values are not reset by default, although the Time Monk may elect to change any individual value to its default for the new Dynasty that they are entering.Whenever the ruleset of the Dynasty that a Time Monk is occupying permits them to change the value of another Time Monk’s GNDT field then they may do so using the same mapping, provided that the change makes sense (for example, if Time Monk A is permitted to change Time Monk B’s “Credits†[mapped to GNDT Field 1] by 5, then they may do so provided that Time Monk B’s GNDT Field 1 is numeric.)
Each Time Monk also has a GNDT field entitled “Inventoryâ€, which is used for any Dynasty that contains an item-ownership mechanic.
===Victory===
Each Time Monk has a field in the GNDT entitled Victories.Whenever a Time Monk has achieved Victory in a past Dynasty, they may Declare Victory for that Dynasty by following the procedure set out in the Core Rule entitled Victory and Ascension, detailing explicitly which Dynasty they have achieved Victory in and how that Victory was achieved. A Declaration of Victory made on this basis does not cause a hiatus to begin and does not imply or confer a state of victory in Dynasty 100. If that Declaration of Victory passes then that Time Monk may iterate their Victory statistic in the GNDT by 1. They must then put an asterisk beside that Dynasty in the Dynastic History list on the front page of the Wiki; subsequently, that Dynasty may not be the Occupied Dynasty of any Time Monk, and any Time Monk for whom it is the current Occupied Dynasty must have their Dynasty set to 100.
For the avoidance of doubt, victory in Dynasty 100 may not be achieved by means of any provision of any rule in the ruleset of any other Dynasty.
I am under no illusion as to how complex this is but I think it can be made to work, doubtless with lots of bodging together…
Although poor Darknight isn’t going to get much help with his “confused by the ruleset” problem.

I love this. However I don’t think I read anything preventing anyone to just go and edit the list in the first page of the Blognomic Wiki.
