I means that it's attached to something that'll prevent it from moving
around too much.

...oh, you mean in game. Well, quoting Rule 1688, Power:

  A Rule that secures a change, action, or value (hereafter the
  securing Rule) thereby makes it IMPOSSIBLE to perform that
  change or action, or to set or modify that value, except as
  allowed by an Instrument with Power greater than or equal to the
  change's Power Threshold.  This Threshold defaults to the
  securing Rule's Power, but CAN be lowered as allowed by that
  Rule (including by the Rule itself).

So yeah, if T is secured with Power 3, you can only change T using
something that has *at least* Power 3. Which, in a way, *is* attaching
T to a rule to prevent it from changing too much, so I guess I wasn't
too far off. (^_^)

That's what I thought, but does that mean Rule 2130 (How to be shown
to the door) does not work because it is a Power 2 rule?

... I don't see why it'd work at the moment. That and Writs of FAGE, either.

Sounds broken! I like it. Can anyone confirm/infirm? =P

Nice catch.  Relevant history entry:

Power changed from 2 to 3 by Proposal 7610 (G.), 22 December 2013

Regarding the current roster, I believe the Registrar's Report of 4
June has self-ratified; it was the first to be published after my
proposal to make switch reports self-ratifying.
