A contract's Spirit can be Legal, Equitable, or Dual.

This logic should be elsewhere, like rules 2169 ("...in the operation 
of a particular Equitable or Dual contract") and 1742 ("Parties to a 
Legal or Dual contract SHALL act in accordance...").

Actually for the latter you probably have the right idea organizing it 
by Enforceability, so something like "Parties to a Loose, 
non-Equitable contract SHALL act as specified by that contract."

This should be a switch. "Agreement is a switch possessed by each 
ordered pair of the form (person, document), with the possible values 
Demurring (default), Conspiring, and Professing."

This would horribly break contracts that define assets whose ownership 
is restricted to parties.

I'm not sure this could be abused in the case of pledges, but in 
general -- do these rules enable one person to unilaterally disband a 
contract by agreeing to a document with identical text, but doing so 
in a way that changes its Enforceability or Spirit? If not, can you 
explain exactly how they don't?

"Entities can act on behalf of parties to a Public, Pledge, or Loose 
contract whose text is publically available as that contract clearly 
and unambiguously specifies."
