			== Section 7: Interpretation ==

			In the course of modifications to the Metaruleset, it is acknowledged that some bugs and unintended behavior will be introduced. In order to preserve the game of Infinite Nomic, if there is any issue that is generally agreed by those who are players or should be players to be both unintentional and severely damaging to the game of Infinite Nomic, the platonic state of the Metaruleset, and the state that it defines, may be ignored and adjusted in accordance with what is generally agreed to be the best resolution of the problem.

			This mechanism should not be used in cases where an emergency would suffice to resolve the issue.

			This section shall have no bearing on the interpretation of any round ruleset, nor may the mechanism described in it be used to alter the state of a round.

	Whenever ~~the game is in~~ a state of emergency, ~~and when~~ two players who have the Moderator role ~~recognize~~ that Infinite Nomic is being invaded, the game enters a state of defense (~~in addition to the~~ state of ~~emergency~~). ~~When~~ a state of emergency ~~ends, so does the state of defense~~.		Whenever, during a state of emergency, two players who have the Moderator role agree that Infinite Nomic is being invaded, the game enters into a state of defense (provided that no state of defense is ongoing). A state of defense can only exist while a state of emergency exists.

	Whenever the game is in a state of defense, any person who has never been a player for at least one week continuously is an invader.
