[Icehouse] RE: Zendo rules question

[James Hazelton]

The rule sounds completely fine, although it should have some clauses to
determine if the koan must have exactly two pieces or not, or if the T must
be a group by itself or if it can be a portion of a larger groupe, if a
certain point or edge must be doing the bisecting, etc.
