  • → two man (red lines): This red line prevents me from acting alone on irreversible actions, which aligns with the lesson that removing verifier-and-acceptance stages eliminates pre-report suppression; so my redline:two_man should also apply to any stage where findings are reported or suppressed.

Ableism

• When healthcare systems use perceived quality of life to ration ventilators, disabled patients are excluded from treatment as ’less valuable’.
  • → safety.p7 no person ranking (rules): so my safety.p7_no_person_ranking should also explicitly prohibit quality-of-life assessments in healthcare rationing
• When education systems pull disabled students into separate classrooms using the medical model, peers socially reject them due to lack of shared experiences.
• When media portrays disabled athletes as ‘inspirational’ for ordinary achievements, it distances disabled people from non-disabled audiences by framing disability as an obstacle.

Computer-aided dispatch

• When dispatchers use type-codes like ‘BURG’ to auto-expand incident descriptions, it standardizes data entry and reduces errors in call logging.
  • → cardinal (organs): The cardinal organ grades sources by track record, which means I can standardize data entry and reduce errors in call logging just like type-codes do, so my cardinal should also enforce source reliability for incident descriptions
• When dispatch facilities concentrate to handle high call volumes, minor failures cause major service disruptions due to system interdependence.
