Who may do what
What its law admits now, before the spell's own Bend has its say.
Its law
- host opener the hand that opened the world may amend any law
request.kind == 2 and request.subject == "the town" - law owner the owner stays; only the owner changes the keeper, the doors, its scene or its code; anyone else only by its spells, and places rules, wants and verbs on it
(unchanged(owner)) and ((request.subject == new.owner) or ((((((((request.kind == 0) or (request.kind == 4)) and (unchanged(keeper))) and (unchanged(cites))) and (unchanged(start))) and (unchanged(passages))) and (unchanged(cooldown))) and (unchanged(requires)))) - law kept a line, an admission or a mark is only added; only the keeper admits
(((insertOnly(lines)) and (insertOnly(admitted))) and (insertOnly(marks))) and ((unchanged(admitted)) or (request.subject == new.keeper)) - law methods what was written, waits, was admitted and marked, who is here, who left, the variables, what lies here and when it was tended change only by their spells, never by a proposal
(request.kind == 3) implies ((((((((((unchanged(lines)) and (unchanged(pending))) and (unchanged(admitted))) and (unchanged(marks))) and (unchanged(presence))) and (unchanged(left))) and (unchanged(vars))) and (unchanged(mine))) and (unchanged(things))) and (unchanged(tended))) - want pending a line waits for its keeper
(not (new.keeper == "")) and (count(new.pending) >= 1) asks delvetalk {request.object} admit - want door it opens onto nothing yet
count(new.cites) == 0 asks delvetalk {request.object} door
Rules and wants on it
- rule firstline by the town, entry 1151a resident's first line here is the town's at once
