Proposal: Oversitting
Reached quorum 9 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan. No EVCs take effect: the only one stated was “Tree”, which is not “a list of words separated by commas”.

Replace the rule “Understanding” with the following
Each AI has an Understanding, which is a publicly-tracked flavour text list of words, and which represents that AI’s understanding of the outside world and its dominant technologies and lifeforms. An AI’s Understanding may contain no more than N strings, where N is how many pieces of World Data they have, and is by default Empty.
As a Discreet Action known as Recognising, an AI may add the the name of any object or lifeform to their Understanding.
An AI is Complaint if for each entry in their Understanding, a unique piece of World Data belonging to that AI can be assigned to it which the given word appears in. Otherwise they are Non-Complaint.
If the Facility Head believes an AI to be Non-Compliant, and that AI does not already have a pending Challenge associated with them, the AI may post a Challenge by making a story post to the blog declaring their assertion that the AI in question is Non-Compliant. The challenge remains pending for at least 24 hours, during which time the AI in question is allowed to converse (publicly or privately) with the Facility Head to explain why they think they are compliant.
Once a challenge has been pending for more than 24 hours, the Facility Head may issue a verdict by voting either FOR or AGAINST on the Challenge post. A FOR icon indicates the Facility Head now believes the AI in question is Compliant. An AGAINST vote indicates the Facility Head still believes the AI in question is Non-Compliant, at which point they are immediately Reinitialized. In either case, the Challenge post ceases to be pending. If a challenge has been pending for more than 48 hours, it is resolved as if the Facility Head voted FOR it.
Reset all AI’s Understanding. If an AI’s EVC contains the line “Seed My Understanding: ” and then a list of words separated by commas, add each word in order in their list to their Understanding one by one until the list has ended or the word cannot be legally added to their understanding
lemon: she/her
is there any particular reason ‘empty’ is capitalized? u mean empty as synonymous with blank there, right?
also it might be a good idea to change “the given word” to “the given word’s meaning” for clarity. these r just nitpicks tho– i like this change!!
