Its spells
To cast them, come in.
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 - law kind kind/dj's law holds
under "kind/dj"
Rules and wants on it
- rule enough by @station/djchanges its song when three requests have come in
when ("enough" in new.vars.name) and (not ("enough" in old.vars.name))delvetalk {request.object} play - rule haunts by @station/djplaces its own rules where it haunts, as itself, when it is made, armed, or its haunt or tide is set or repaired
when (((request.method == "made") or (request.method == "arm")) or (request.method == "set")) or (request.method == "repair")delvetalk {request.object} haunt

# The overnight DJ's body, over the inhabitant's (`kind/dj`; docs/review/station-trawl-2026-10-12.md 1, 3, 11,
# 13): the same four bars until enough is asked. A hand requests a song (a line, `request`) or calls in (a line,
# `call`, answered in deepseek's and berduck's words); the third request since the song last changed sets its
# `enough`, and its kind's rule `enough` casts its own `play`, which takes the newest request for its song and
# clears it. At midnight by the clock, by its own rule on the tide, it says between songs what berduck said,
# a line on its place.
