System Limits
Cube A Cloud systems refuse engagement when:
Refusal Conditions
These conditions trigger immediate system refusal. No exceptions.
—Decisions are already irreversible.
—Legal authority is required.
—Information cannot be verified.
—Urgency replaces reasoning.
Refusal is Protection
Refusal is not failure. Refusal is protection.
Engagement proceeds only when authority, verification, and exit paths are defined.
✓Systems that refuse inappropriate requests earn institutional trust
✓Systems that accept everything create liability and risk
Override Policy
System refusals cannot be overridden by convenience or urgency.
When conditions change and refusal criteria are resolved, engagement can proceed through the standard protocol.
Critical Principle
A system that can be pressured into ignoring its limits is not a decision system—it is a liability.
