Rule 2162, "Switches", defines flipping switches. This contract attempts to override the definition for its own purposes. The question is whether the definition in the Rule has preclusive effect. Definitions ordinarily don't, at least in ordinary language (i.e. texts regularly redefine special terms). However, Rule 2162 doesn't say it's defining anything, it just does so. It arguably overrides the definition in the contract. I request the judge also rule on whether things would differ if Rule 2162 used the word "define", rather than simply stating the meaning of the term. Caller's Evidence: On 6/30/2020 9:32 PM, Aris Merchant via agora-business wrote: I create, consent to, and become a member of the following contract. { Amusing Test Case Any player CAN become a party to this contract by announcement. Amusement is an untracked singleton negative boolean switch. Destructibility is an untracked singleton negative boolean switch. Any other definition notwithstanding, "to flip the amusement switch to true" (and similar variations thereof) means to change the value of the destructibility switch to true, and has no effect on the amusement switch. Aris CAN flip the amusement switch to true by announcement. Aris CAN Call Destruction Down Upon this contract by announcement. This instant after e does so, this contract is destroyed. Aris SHALL NOT Call Destruction Down Upon this contract unless the value of the destructibility switch is true. One week after this contract comes into existence, the value of destructibility switch is set to true. } I flip the amusement switch to true (under the definition specified by the contract). Rule 2162/13 (Power=3) Switches A type of switch is a property that the rules define as a switch, and specify the following: 1. The type(s) of entity possessing an instance of that switch. No other entity possesses an instance of that switch. 2. One or more possible values for instances of that switch, exactly one of which should be designated as the default. No values other than those listed are possible for instances of that switch, except that, if no default is specified, then rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the "null" value is a possible value for that switch, and is the default. 3. Optionally, exactly one office whose holder tracks instances of that switch. That officer's (weekly, if not specified otherwise) report includes the value of each instance of that switch whose value is not its default value; a public document purporting to be this portion of that officer's report is self-ratifying, and implies that other instances are at their default value. At any given time, each instance of a switch has exactly one possible value for that type of switch. If an instance of a switch comes to have a value, it ceases to have any other value. If an instance of a switch would otherwise fail to have a possible value, it comes to have its default value. A Rule that designates a switch as "secured" (at a given power level) designates changes to the properties of that type of switch as secured (at that power level) and designates changes to the value of each instance of the switch as secured (at that power level). "To flip an instance of a switch" is to make it come to have a given value. "To become X" (where X is a possible value of exactly one of the subject's switches) is to flip that switch to X. If a type of switch is not explicitly designated as possibly-indeterminate by the rule that defines it, and if an action or set of actions would cause the value of an instance of that type of switch to become indeterminate, that instance instead takes on its last determinate and possible value, if any, otherwise it takes on its default value. A singleton switch is a switch for which Agora Nomic is the only entity possessing an instance of that switch. A boolean switch is a switch with values True and False. A
