Definition and Continuity of Entities may result in this happening automatically. The easiest fix may be to simply condition around it, so that the result works regardless of whether or not D&CoE applies. Proto-proto: Allow entities enacting rule changes to explicitly specify the effects wrt D&CoE. I am uncertain how I feel about it otherwise. I do like multi-dimensional currencies in general but they can sometimes take richness away rather than add it. -Alexis
