:: I excised the rule. If anyone wants to put it back, we can discuss that here, first. --[[User:DanBron|DanBron]] 18:41, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
::: I wrote that bit as part of an effort to characterize the original implementation and build up the task description. (The task description was ''very'' rough to start out with!) I still think it makes sense to load the rulesets from an external file. After all, they're a program (a nearly pure turing machine) and they can get rather long, and it's useful to load from a file as this encourages separation of the interpretation engine from ruleset itself. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 09:35, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
:::: Plus the fact that the ruleset definition includes a comment syntax (which I didn't write, just tidied up) is highly indicative that it was originally intended to be file-hosted. (I'm not sorry to lose the requirement for input and output data though.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 09:37, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
