I withdraw my proposal "Alternative simultaneous rule changes fix".
Proposal: Alternative simultaneous rule changes fix v1.1
(AI = 3)
Amend Rule 105 (Rule Changes) by replacing the paragraph containing "A
rule change is any effect that falls into the above classes." with:
A rule change is any effect that falls into the above classes.
Rule changes always occur sequentially, never simultaneously. If a
specification would ever be interpreted as causing multiple
changes to happen at once, it is instead interpreted as attempting
to cause them to occur separately, in the order they are listed in
the specification; or, if no such order is specified, and choosing
one order over another would not make a substantive difference to
the gamestate, then in order of increasing rule number (ties
broken by when the rules were created, earliest to latest).
[Explicitly allows proposals like "Amend all rules containing X by
replacing X with Y" where it would make no substantive difference which
order those amendments occurred, as long as they all did occur.
A malformed proposal amounting to "Repeal all or most rules" would be
pretty much guaranteed to make a substantive difference, in which case
this clause would remain silent, and the next paragraph of R105 would
still negate it due to ambiguity.]
