I still see a conflict with R2140.
I see what you're doing with the indirection here (attempting to
empower R1728 at power 3), but you haven't convinced me yet. The
indirection doesn't remove the impossible nature of the task.
Take a close look at R2140:
No entity with power below the power of this rule can...
(c) modify any other substantive aspect of an instrument with
power greater than its own. A "substantive" aspect of
an instrument is any aspect that affects the instrument's
operation.
I would say that "the ability of R1728 to amend R2141" is a substantive
aspect of the power-3 R1728, in that it is certainly an aspect of its
operation; hence that ability (or lack thereof) can't be modified by
the power-1 R2238.
I like a good ladder scam, so what's the logic in favor?
