A rule consists of a body of text, which continuously governs the state of the game and how it is to be interpreted and a symbol, which is a short code which is used to reference that rule.

very minor nit: I'd prefer to say a rule "has" a symbol, not "consists" of text and a symbol

When a new rule is created, the player whose proposal created that rule gains 6 shares of that rule, and the Bureau of Business gains 4 shares of that rule.

When a new rule is created by a proposal

When a rule is amended by proposal, a share of that rule is created in the possession of the owner of the proposal that amended that rule.

This incentivizes splitting changes in a proposal into multiple amendments Should probably be "When a proposal takes effect, for each rule that it alters, ..."

the Majority shareholder of the rule can issue a Shareholder Veto on the proposal

by what mechanism

If the proposal has not been withdrawn by the end of its voting period, the Majority shareholder must give 1 share of the rule to the Bureau of Business.

is this intended to be just if there's a veto or anytime a proposal amends a rule

When a player is a Majority Shareholder on two thirds of all rules in existence, they win the game and the Cycle ends.

"at least two thirds", and I feel like the "in existence" is overly broad

A trade between two players takes place when both players explicitly consent to the trade in #trades .

should add statute of limitations on trade consent

Proposals are bodies of text that describe changes to the gamestate, including rule changes. "Proposals are entities that have bodies of text."

I think the "describe changes to the gamestate" bit should be dropped because it means that if a proposal accidentally doesn't change anything then it's not a proposal (also the proposal itself should not be the body of text) “if the application of the proposal would create more than 1 rule it doesnt-”

The class of a proposal must be one of the classes listed below.

please don't use relative references like "below", I don't think we've previously held that ruleset order is actually part of the gamestate. "A player can create a proposal in #proposals by specifying the text and, optionally, the class."

Judges may make rulings on the Metaruleset, but those rulings shall only be effective within the bounds of the round.

can we strike this, I regret writing it in the first draft and I don't think it works

Ties are broken in favour of the player with the earliest text message.

earliest text message... in what scope? forever?

Pay 1 share of Bureau of Business to receive any 1 share owned by the Bureau of Business.

so I can pay one share of BoB to get one share of BoB owned by BoB
