If two or more mutable rules conflict with one another, or if two or more
immutable rules conflict with one another, then the rule with the lowest ordinal
number takes precedence.
If at least one of the rules in conflict explicitly says of itself that it defers
to another rule (or type of rule) or takes precedence over another rule (or type
of rule), then such provisions shall supersede the numerical method for
determining precedence.
If two or more rules claim to take precedence over one another or to defer to
one another, then the numerical method again governs.
