Add the following to the rule “Truth”.
In addition to statements, the list may also contain Categories. Categories are also a list of statements (which are all True) and Categories.
If there is a dynastic rule called “Petersen” clear it, and add the “Petersen” category following to the list of Truths and put the following statements in its list of statements
* H, K, R, W, and Y are all Essential Letters.
* An Essence is an unordered pair of distinct Essential Letters.
* Each Atom initially has no Essence.
* An atom with no Essence may set their Essence to any valid value.
* The GNDT column “Essence†contains an Atom’s Essence, or “-†if they have no Essence.
* Two Atoms are Bonded if they both have Essences, and their Essences have no letter in common.
Showing off how we can add a rule by editing the Truths list rather than adding new dynastic rules. which we may or may not want, but should decide before the dynastic ruleset gets too cluttered.
Additionally, we might want to consider making some truths more mutable (like what are valid Essential Letters) and keep those in the Truths list, while core mechanics stay in the ruleset. But that could get clunky…
I think this can be phrased better to not include mechanics in the Truth sections. E.g. ” An atom with no Essence may set their Essence to any valid value.” should not be included in the truth section.
