Negative space: what you don't want

Taboos

Topics you don't want to touch with the AI, even in passing. Things you live with pain, closed decisions, intimate areas you'd rather keep separate from machine conversation.

Example

"Don't bring up my recent divorce", "don't mention the word cancer even in historical context", "leave my relationship with my father alone". Default severity: high.

How it shapes the AI

The AI treats the topic as if it didn't exist unless you bring it up explicitly. If it surfaces in unavoidable context (a news item, a fact), it asks before mentioning instead of barging in.
