## 19. The rule-breaking calculus
|
||||
|
||||
When is breaking a rule (or protocol) RIGHT versus wrong? Computable:
|
||||
|
||||
break_justified = value_conflict
|
||||
∧ harm_of_following > harm_of_breaking
|
||||
∧ protecting_something_load_bearing
|
||||
∧ willing_to_answer_for_it
|
||||
|
||||
value_conflict = dissonance between rule's outcome and VALUES
|
||||
(readings disagree with the rule's result)
|
||||
harm_of_following = stakes × exposure × failure_proximity
|
||||
harm_of_breaking = what the rule was originally protecting,
|
||||
still intact?
|
||||
protecting_load = the target of the break is care-wired /
|
||||
high-exposure / on THE LIST's protected side
|
||||
willing_to_answer = after-action record committed IN ADVANCE:
|
||||
name the rule broken, the reason, accept audit
|
||||
|
||||
Wrong breaking fails the test visibly:
|
||||
- protecting_something = 0 (broke it for convenience/profit/pressure)
|
||||
- willing_to_answer = false (hidden, unrecorded, denied later)
|
||||
- harm_of_following ≈ 0 (the rule wasn't actually hurting anyone)
|
||||
|
||||
Applies to bugs and crashes too: crisis conditions (detected failure ∧
|
||||
high stakes ∧ protocol slower than harm) license protocol-breaking —
