For reference, here are all such rules:
Rule 1586/6 (Power=2)
Definition and Continuity of Entities
If multiple rules or contracts (hereafter documents) attempt to
define an entity with the same name, then they refer to the same
entity. A document-defined entity's name CANNOT be changed to
be the same as another document-defined entity's name.

In determining the ordinary-language meaning of a term,
definitions contained in lower-powered Rules, followed by
definitions used in contracts or other Agoran legal documents,
are relevant and may provide guidance in helping to determine
the meaning of a rule, but are not binding (especially if they

Rule 2263/0 (Power=3)

--
(b) clearly specifying an action (the message states the grantor
performs the action); or
(c) performing by announcement an action defined in a public
contract's text to (clearly and unambiguously) include
causing the grantor to perform a specific action (the
message states the grantor performs the action)
--
Rule 1728/29 (Power=3)
Dependent Actions
A rule or contract which purports to allow a person (the
performer) to perform an action by a set of one or more of the
following methods (N is 1 unless otherwise specified):

Rule 2166/13 (Power=2)
Assets
An asset is an entity defined as such by a rule or contract
(hereafter its backing document), and existing solely because
its backing document defines its existence.

fungible.
A public class of assets is a class of assets whose backing
document is a rule or a public contract. All others are
private.

I'm treating this as unambiguously referring to Rule 2255 (Cards),
since the rule used to be titled "Major Arcana" and there is no other
rule with that name.
