Indeed.

(At least as long as you are happy with alternatives for Reconnection DNs,
Invocations, axiom shift limits, and maybe a few other oddball rules that
can't be used in their original form with such a chart.)

The problem, though, lies in knowing that you'll never want to add any more
realities. That's something that is hard to guarantee.

As a designer (of many things) I don't like backing myself into a corner. I
can see how others might not be bothered by that, but... Well, I'm in IT.
I've seen too many systems fall in a heap because somebody said, "We'll
never need to do that," only to discover that this was not correct way too
late. I find I must always caution against that.

Nobody has to listen, of course, but I must caution.
