Oh, for some peer review: most frequent co-authorship would also be an

Agreed that those are really the two options here. It's a pity e already
has a Magisteriate, as that would probably have been the best fit all
around. As is, I'm slightly more inclined to round up than round down, but
I'm still thinking it through.

Here's what the rules have to say about degree requirements:

   Degrees SHOULD be awarded according to the extent to which the
   thesis contributes to Nomic culture or thought: Associate degrees
   for an appreciable contribution, Baccalaureate degrees for a
   substantial contribution, Magisteriate degrees for a remarkable
   contribution, and Doctorate degrees for an exceptional
   contribution. Any degree at the Doctorate level SHOULD take into
   account the awardee's academic history and participation in Agora
   over time.

   Theses for Artistry degrees SHOULD demonstrate substantial
   creativity and need not be in written form. Theses for all other
   degrees SHOULD demonstrate substantial research or analysis. J.N.
   and D.N.Law are appropriate for high-quality legal analysis, of
   the sort typical to CFJs, but exceeding an ordinary CFJ in depth.
   The D.N.Hist. degree is appropriate for historical research,
   especially when it presents a narrative that educates Agorans
   about the events of the past. The D.N.Sci. degree is appropriate
   for theses that demonstrate concrete or scientific thinking,
   whereas the D.N.Phil. is appropriate for theses that demonstrate
   abstract or philosophical thinking.

With that in mind, I'm open to suggestions (from anyone) for what degree to
confer. I'll intend any compelling ones and only resolve the highest
resolvable.

Oh, and here's the list of degrees:

   - Associate of Nomic Artistry(A.N.A.)
   - Associate of Nomic (A.N.)
   - Juris Doctorate of Nomic   (J.N.)
   - Baccalaureate of Nomic Artistry(B.N.A.)
   - Baccalaureate of Nomic (B.N.)
   - Magisteriate of Nomic Artistry (M.N.A.)
   - Magisteriate of Nomic  (M.N.)
   - Doctorate of Nomic Artistry(D.N.Art.)
   - Doctorate of Nomic History (D.N.Hist.)
   - Doctorate of Nomic Law (D.N.Law.)
   - Doctorate of Nomic Science (D.N.Sci.)
   - Doctorate of Nomic Philosophy  (D.N.Phil.)



Let us begin with what is clearly not applicable. This thesis, though it 
includes images, is clearly more research-focused and therefore does not 
merit an Artistry degree. Furthermore, Jason already has a Magisteriate 
of Nomic and it would therefore be unfair to em to give the same degree 
twice.


I think that this thesis represents significant effort, at least enough 
for a Baccalaureate of Nomic. I do not know if it represents enough for 
a Doctorate, but if it is decided that that is the correct level, a 
D.N.Sci. seems most appropriate. These are thus my two suggestions.
