Proposal
This proposal enacts a new rule (called the Clarity Rule).
1) A proposal can only alter the meaning of a pre-existing rule (by superseding or repealing parts or all of it, modifying its text, or establishing an authoritative interpretation) if it explicitly mentions that pre-existing rule.
2) If a reference is not made in this way, conflicts between rules shall be resolved, by default, in favour of the older (lower-numbered) rule.
3) If a proposal mentioning existing rules is agreed upon and ratified, references to it will be appended to all rules that it mentions. Any player may perform this action.
