The " Metamagical Themas " columns ranged over many themes, and included, to name just three, one on patterns in Frederic Chopin's piano music ( particularly the études ), another on the concept of superrationality ( choosing to cooperate when the other party / adversary is assumed to be equally intelligent as oneself ), and one on the self-modifying game of Nomic, based on the way in which the legal system modifies itself, and developed by philosopher Peter Suber.

Nomic is a game created in 1982 by philosopher Peter Suber in which the rules of the game include mechanisms for the players to change those rules, usually beginning through a system of democratic voting.

Nomic actually refers to a large number of games based on the initial ruleset laid out by Peter Suber in his book The Paradox of Self-Amendment.

The game of Nomic was first introduced to the public in this column, in June 1982, when excerpts from a book ( still unpublished at the time ) by the game's creator Peter Suber were printed and discussed.

Nomic is a sophisticated and simple example of a metagame popular as a pastime among philosophers and mathematicians, but has also spread widely among other people as a recreational option.

Legal ideas from other systems are turned on their head: someone pronounced " innocent " ( guilty in other terms ) by the court is torn to pieces by angry spectators ; judges may have bias (" if I can decide for my side, I will "), though not prejudice (" I will decide for my side, regardless "); defendant and plaintiff are chosen at trial by the side bringing the complaint choosing one role or the other ; torture is permitted ; and all procedural rules may be violated, but only by finding conflict within procedural rules ( an example of Nomic ).

Although many of the Future Culture list were vehemently opposed to making the archives of their postings publicly available, a selection in a Web based game called Nomic.

There is even a version in which the players are games of Nomic themselves.

Such games of Nomic sometimes last for a very long time – Agora has been running since 1993.

While Nomic is traditionally capitalized as the proper name of the game it describes, it has also sometimes been used in a more informal way as a lowercased generic term, nomic, referring to anything with Nomic-like characteristics, including games where the rules may be changed during play as well as non-gaming situations where it can be alleged that " rules lawyers " are tinkering with the process used to amend rules and policies ( in an organization or community ) in a manner akin to a game of Nomic.

Within actual entertainment games, the term metagame is used to describe either a game system layered over the game system, to increase enjoyable complexity, or a game system by which game rules are created, such as Nomic.

Not only can every aspect of the rules be altered in some way over the course of a game of Nomic, but myriad variants also exist: some that have themes, begin with a single rule, or begin with a dictator instead of a democratic process to validate rules.

One spin-off of a now-defunct Nomic ( Nomic World ) is the Fantasy Rules Committee, which adds every legal rule submitted by a player to the ruleset until the players run out of ideas, after which all the " fantasy rules " are repealed and the game begins again.

The fictional game Calvinball, played by the main characters in the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, is sometimes compared to Nomic.

The game of Nomic is particularly suited to being played online, where all proposals and rules can be shared in web pages or email archives for ease of reference.

Another facet of Nomic is the way in which the implementation of the rules affects the way the game of Nomic itself works.

B Nomic, by contrast, was once described by one of its players as " the equivalent of throwing logical hand grenades.
