- The thesis is pretty much about Agora nomic specifically, so please
change the title.
- "Interestingly, Suber’s ruleset leaves very basic actions such as joining
or leaving the game unregulated allowing them to occur in any manner."
This is a bizarre point which I wish could be expanded on. What makes the
verbs "join" or "leave" special? ("to join" doesn't even explicitly exist
as a word anywhere! And its abstract!).
As much as I can "join" that nomic, I could also "paint it green". Or "kill
it". Or "make it a living being", then "pat its head", then "kill it".
Or "block anyone from joining": Or "forcibly make everyone else leave
(un-join)". Or:
"forcibly make everyone else leave (un-join), by just thinking of it."
Now congrats, you're the only player of that Nomic but nobody is aware of
that except you. Don't worry about those players looking like they're still
playing the Nomic, they just seem to but actually aren't.
It's totally insane that you can actually do those unknowable actions and
they're entirely legal by your reasoning there.
And maybe it actually is entirely true. I'd just like to have the subject
touched because of how explosive and powerful it is, which makes it seem
important to me (perhaps also include Agora's explicit rules of how actions
are secured/need to be declared to avoid this).
