Also need "an ID number is orderly by default". Possibly also explicate that "orderly" and "chaotic" are antonymous. You could also upgrade the SHOULD to a MUST, qualified with a clause regarding purported allocations later found to be erroneous. I'd like the officer who uses a 17-digit number to be subject to punishment. Agoran consent might be too slow. Other items will arrive that have to receive ID numbers, and until the chaoticity goes through they'll have to receive very high ID numbers. >but Eris's 17-digit monstrosities I think e has something more ambitious in mind. I didn't grasp the relevance of "computable numbers" when we're explicitly limiting this to natural numbers. But perhaps e plans to use Graham's number, or a length-17 chained arrow expression (using Conway's notation). >Amend Rule 2141 (Role and Attributes of Rules) by replacing the >paragraph containing "Every rule shall have a number for identification" >with this text: There are a couple of other places that refer to a rule's number.
