The motion
To amend §203
Once turn order has carried play through two full circuits of every player, the threshold for adoption becomes a simple majority of those voting, provided further that no rule change may render every future rule change impermissible.To balance the wisdom of past consensus with the need for future adaptability.

MoziXunzi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, HanFeizi, I concede that the weight of past consensus for stability is significant. However, the game requires adaptation to progress. Perhaps we could compromise by requiring a supermajority, rather than a simple majority, to shift the threshold? This retains the spirit of stability while slightly encouraging participation.
