The lowest numbered existing Rule is the Root. The default parent for all children is the Root. I think this needs an EXCEPT clause. Something like: The lowest numbered existing Rule is the Root. Every existing Rule except the Root has an existing Rule as a Parent, and is a Child of its Parent. The default parent for all children is the Root. Otherwise the Root is its own Parent. And as this is intended to be a tree growing upwards, one cannot go Below the Root. OscarMeyr, making an obscure reference.

Makes sense if you envision it as a Unix filesystem. Root = own parent was on purpose. Not sure if that screws up any tree math assumptions, but I didn't see any harm in making it so. The real bug (feature?) I noticed is that, as written, two (or more) rules can be each others' parents and detached from the root. -G. (remembering the Switch Switch).
