The ACORN is divided into titles, assigned by the Regkeepor, which are each given an integer. Generally, each office with the power to create regulations SHOULD be assigned the next successive natural number. Title 0 of the ACORN is reserved for use by the Regkeepor, and nothing in that title need be a regulation. Non-regulations printed in the ACORN have no binding effect, and SHALL clearly be marked by the Regkeepor. Each regulation SHALL be assigned an ID number by the Regkeepor, consisting of a string of the characters [0-9] and separator characters.
