Proposal: Re-enact Elements [Trivial]

Add an Elements rule:

Some Strains are able to Absorb one Element and to Emit another; this is tracked in the GNDT. The Elements choices are restricted to Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.

Initially, all Strains are Inert, absorbing and emitting nothing. An Inert Strain may change itself to absorb and emit two different Elements, at any time.

Any Strain whose Size is between 26 and 50 may change either the Element it Emits or the Element it Absorbs. Any Strain whose Size is under 26 may change both its Element. A Strain must have reached size 51 before it may make changes under this paragraph again.

The Elements a Strain emits or absorbs shall be different. Any action that would make the Element a Strain emits the same as the Element that Strain absorbs is invalid and may not be performed.

If there is an Enome rule,

• In the Elements Rule change
  
  

  tracked in the GNDT.

  
  to
  
  

  tracked in the Strain's Enome.



• In the Enome Rule change
  
  

  (This paragraph shall be replaced by the first Enome tracked information)

  
  to
  
  

  Enome[1] and Enome[2] track the elements a Strain Absorbs and Emits, respectively. Possible values are:
  * C - Carbon
  * O - Oxygen
  * N - Nitrogen

If there is a Classification rule, change the third paragraph of the Elements rule to:

Any Strain whose Size is at 'Declining' may change either the Element it Emits or the Element it Absorbs. Any Strain whose Size is 'Critical' may change both its Elements. A Strain must have reached the 'Stable' classification before it may make changes under this paragraph again.

This brings the Elements back, though is innocuous until some Eating/Breathing mechanics are put into play.
