Just enact a single power-4 rule as a transition rule:
Immediately after this Rule takes effect, rules to the contrary
notwithstanding,
all other rules are simultaneously voided and cease being rules [avoiding
the
word 'repeal' because it's defined elsewhere]. An instant later, [this
initial
ruleset] becomes the ruleset of Agora. This is considered a continuous
change
of the ruleset within Agora, all players immediately before this Rule takes
effect are players in the new ruleset. Immediately thereafter, this Rule
repeals itself.
This would trump all prohibitions against a simultaneous mass change in the
current ruleset, and it functions for an instant as a nomic-of-1-rule, and
supplies continuity. The only care would have to be that the new ruleset (with
a new means of precedence) wouldn't overrule the last part and prohibit the
self-repeal.
