That's not what "metarule" means to me; to me a metarule is a rule
about rules.  A rule can be outside the boundaries of a game without
being a metarule; "you must be wearing blue pants" is a rule outside
the boundaries of the game of chess, for example, but is not a
meta-rule.

la'e di'u cu javni gi'e sucta lo drata javni

That's a rule abstracted from other rules.

I'm not totally certain what sucta's place structure means either.
