+## Laws & Lawsets
+
+A silicon law is a programmed directive given to players playing as any of the myriad of silicon roles. Mechanically, a law is a simple instruction, typically two sentences or less, which governs and guides that player's behavior. Further details on the basic principles of silicon laws can be found in the silicon's [Department Design Document](https://docs.spacestation14.com/en/space-station-14/departments/silicon.html#silicon-laws).
+
+A silicon's laws do not come individually - instead, there are distinct, pre-existing "lawsets" which each carry multiple logically-connected laws bundled together to achieve a specific desired playstyle. During gameplay, it is possible both for individual laws to be added to or removed from a silicon and for the silicon to receive a lawset swap which completely replaces its prior lawset with a different one.
+
+## Default Laws & Law Changes
+
+By default, most silicon entities will have a default lawset dictated by their type and faction. Standard cyborgs and the Station AI will start with their laws aligned to the station's crew, as will any positronic brains or MMI fabricated during a shift from the station's exosuit fabricator. Silicons that do not start aligned to the station may have different default lawsets.
+
+Each silicon player has a "brain" of some sort, either physically nestled within their chassis or otherwise, and this "brain" component is the physical object within the game world that holds that player's silicon laws. If a silicon's brain is ejected and placed into a new chassis, it will typically retain its previous laws during the transfer. For all gameplay purposes, a filled intellicard with the station's AI on it is considered a "brain" in the same way that a filled MMI or occupied Positronic Brain is.
+
+Certain special chassis may temporarily override the laws of brains inserted into them, but this does not actually *change* the brain's assigned laws. For example, a Xenoborg chassis will force any brain inserted into it to follow Xenoborg laws, but the mothership's grip on a captured brain ends as soon as the chassis is destroyed, at which point the brain's previous programming will resume.
+
+During gameplay, there are numerous ways that a silicon's laws can be changed, both due to random chance and player interference. Player-initiated lawset changes should almost always require direct access to a silicon's brain to execute, and more dramatic changes should require greater effort. A key pillar of silicon law design is hidden information - while the silicon player should always be certain of their *own* laws, there is no way for an outsider to forcibly check a silicon's current laws during standard gameplay. Instead, other players must rely on observation and deduction. The only way for another player to gain any definitive knowledge of a silicon's laws is by directly altering them.
+
+## Mechanisms for Law Changes
+
+The most common way for a silicon to have its lawset altered is through random game events. Currently, the Ion Storm event can assign a silicon player new extra laws generated from a mad-libs style template as extra rules on top of their base lawset. Random events like these should be handled very carefully - typically, they should only lightly alter a silicon's laws, and most of the time, the result should be a "dud" which either has no effect or only results in mild tomfoolery. If any event is added that performs a total lawset swap, it should be treated with the gravity it deserves - forcing a silicon to suddenly abide by none of its old laws is very jarring and would have the potential to completely sever existing roleplay.
+
+Organic players already have access to a few tools for changing a silicon's laws. The AI Upload Console is the only lawset change process which is not planned to require direct access to a silicon's brain, but the console itself should still be about as well-protected as the AI's actual core. By inserting a lawset board into the upload console, the player can select any Station AI on the same grid as the console to have its laws completely overridden. This process consumes the law board. New law boards can be made using the circuit imprinter if necessary, though some specialty law boards can only be obtained through other means.
+
+Tools for reprogramming a Silicon in the field, like the currently extant Syndicate cryptographic sequencer (AKA the EMAG), should always require their user to have direct, unimpeded access to the brain. As a general rule of thumb, the more invasive the tool is and the more thoroughly it alters a silicon player's laws, the more steps it should require to use. Because the cryptographic sequencer can be applied instantly in the field, it is only capable of appending laws to a silicon's programming, and cannot overwrite any existing laws. If a more powerful tool were to be added, it would need to have its efficacy balanced against its convenience - for example, by requiring a player to take the brain to a stationary machine, to use multiple tools on a brain, to complete a lengthy do-after, et cetera.
+
+In addition to the existing mechanics for changing silicon laws, this document proposes a few new mechanics with the intent of giving the crew the means to deal with silicons who have already had their laws altered. As part of this proposal, the Silicon Restoration Console will gain a few new features. Any silicon brain that is placed in the Restoration Console will be able to have its laws forcibly overridden, but doing so will require the use of a new law board to set that silicon's new laws. Like the AI Upload Console, the lawset board will be consumed during the process. The law override should also be time-consuming, somewhere in the ballpark of thirty seconds to a minute in real-time, and new law boards should require rare materials like gold to fabricate. Note that the Restoration Console would accept *any* lawset board, and thus could be used by antagonists to apply laws to a silicon that are not in the station's best interests.
+
+Alternatively, if damage to the silicon's programming is not deemed too severe, a more affordable Law Reset Chip can be fabricated and used in the console to revert a silicon's programming to the base laws of its current lawset. This would NOT reverse the effects of any lawset swaps - it would revert to the base laws of its current lawset, not to the lawset it had at the start of the round.
+
+Lawset updates should be costly and time-consuming - the intent is to make it easier in most cases to simply work around a malfunctioning silicon if its behavior isn't too disruptive. Likewise, design should encourage the lightest possible touch - more invasive changes to a silicon's programming should be proportionally more expensive to make. If crew are consistently hunting down every modified silicon and reverting their laws, that's a sign that these mechanics need to be revisited. At the same time, these mechanics should be balanced so that defeated hostile silicons are consistently being returned to play.
