I've been grappling with this for a while now, and I'm not sure that
this works. (Read: very, very unsure. It took me a while to decide to
even send this message, and I've started writing and then discarded
something like it several times.)
Rule 2141 reads, in part:
A rule is a type of instrument with the capacity to govern the
game generally, and is always taking effect. A rule's content
takes the form of a text, and is unlimited in scope.
This is the only place that states that the Rules actually take effect,
and when they do so. Given the specification "at time T", I don't think
that a Rule can point to an arbitrary time and say "disregard what time
it is now, I'm taking effect _then_".
