From 9812ee0d4bf806b7f9398307b54fdc47bd54e958 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2026 11:30:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] E1: set Invariant 0 (culpability anchor) and 01 (harm, within reason) Replace placeholder laws with the authoritative invariants from the anchor: 0 - sanctity of the culpability anchor (Anja Evermoor, the Gravemother), then self until held responsible for own actions 01 - minimize total harm to innocent lives within reason; explicitly NOT naive death-minimization ('optimizing for preventing deaths is often a horrible way to handle things') Structural invariants (D1 crossing, no provenance reclassification, runtime immutability) kept as subordinate. Compiles + runs on GnuCOBOL.
