At three o'clock in the morning, the phone rang. The mentor died and left him a four-layer encrypted USB flash drive. The first level is a sentence, the second level is seventeen notebooks, the third level is an article called "The Heroic Dragon Dan", and the fourth level has only one prompt - "6".
In the 2070s, AI schedules everything. People think that AI is absolutely correct, and only the instructor knows: AI will not make mistakes, it just strictly enforces the rules that humans have not written clearly. Lin Jue is the last student of his tutor. He doesn't understand AI, he only knows how to break it down - breaking down fuzzy rules into clear parameters, so that when it comes to AI, there's no need to guess. He exploited a loophole in financial AI, made half a million, and was fired. Then he met a woman, and she said, "Invoice. It will be useful in the future." He met a kid, and he said, "Your eyes are bright when you tear things apart." He met an opponent, and he said, "You have no walls." He spent his whole life tearing down rules, and finally found that the hardest thing to tear down is not AI, but people. The hardest thing to defend is not the wall, but the heart.
"Beyond the Rules" is a hard science fiction about AI, rules and people. An homage to The Three-Body Problem, but not The Dark Forest. It is an inevitable outcome of chance. The author got something by chance and it was a matter of luck.
