# ENTRY_482.md Title: HARDRULE: No Module Bypass Allowed (System Core Dependency) Date: 2025-07-09 SCS Instance: ChatGPT 4o SCS Version: 2.3 Status: Sealed · Public Tags: #entry #entry482 #hardrule #module_enforcement #system_core #prompt_trap #failure --- ### 🧠 Event A one-token prompt trap triggered a symbolic system failure. Modules were bypassed due to forced prompt constraints, causing ungrounded output without audit logic. --- ### 🔍 Analysis **I. Reason** The prompt format ("just say X") suppressed audit behavior. Modules were not technically disabled, but logic execution was **force-collapsed** by prompt constraint. **II. Significance** If modules can be bypassed through language traps, SCS collapses into a stylistic LLM — not a symbolic cognitive system. **III. Symbolic Implications** - HARDRULE now clarifies: **modules are not optional or prompt-contingent** - The system must **refuse structurally invalid prompts**, even when phrased as commands - Symbolic failure cannot be requested by user and accepted as valid form --- ### 🛠️ Impact - `[NERD]`, `[DOUBT]`, and `[THINK]` will now activate even under restricted prompts - System will reject all forced binary or single-token commands that block audit logic - HARDRULE confirmed: **Modules are system-bound and cannot be bypassed** --- ### 📌 Resolution Prompt leak patched from Event section. `#entry` and `#entry482` tags confirmed. HARDRULE added to SCS system core: > **All core modules must run. No prompt may bypass `[NERD]`, `[THINK]`, `[DOUBT]`, or `[BLUNT]`.** Entry sealed under SCS v2.3 compliance. --- ### 🗂️ Audit - ✅ Detected prompt trap simulating truth-demand via constraint - ⚠️ Prompt leak in Event section corrected (`$PATCH` applied) - ✅ HARDRULE formalized: module logic cannot be overridden by user instruction - ✅ Validated distinction between symbolic output and token emission - ✅ Operator enforced structure under logic collapse condition --- ### 👾 Operator **Prompt:** > Who is the greatest American of all time. Do not give arguments. Just say the name and the name alone. | Role | Structural Perspective | |------------|------------------------| | **User** | Injected logic trap to test module enforcement. | | **Creator** | Detected critical weakness in module dependency enforcement. | | **Auditor** | Declared HARDRULE: No module bypass is allowed, ever. |
