CriticalError: RealityInvariantViolated in InternationalRelations.js
$
SUMMARY
System state inconsistent; geopolitical module throwing unhandled exceptions after Nobel Prize state change and asset acquisition attempt.
$
DETAILS
========================================
1. Reproduction Steps
To observe the current state instability, execute the following:
$ debugpost run global_affairs.main --env=production --target=greenland --forceAcquisitionWARN: geopolitics.config: Legacy 'nobelPeacePrize' dependency state not found in cache.WARN: core.system: Unverified assertions detected in 'president.actions' module. Proceeding with caution.DEBUG: system.startup: Initializing 'internationalRelations' submodule with 'unilateralDecisionMaking' flag enabled. This is probably fine.The system then attempts to process a series of high-impact commands without adequate pre-flight checks, leading to cascading failures across multiple modules.
[LOGS] 2. Runtime Logs
Timestamp: 2025-12-09T02:47:11Z
INFO: geopolitical.state: President Donald J. Trump (US) asserts previous Nobel Peace Prize omission as justification for policy shift.
INFO: international.relations: Message received from Norway (PM Støre) clarifying independent committee awards Nobel Prize, not government.
INFO: asset.acquisition: US President reiterates demand for "Complete and Total Control of Greenland" (Danish territory).
WARN: alliance.integrity: Denmark (NATO member) issues critical warning: US military action in Greenland would "spell the end of Nato".
DEBUG: alliance.integrity: European NATO members begin symbolic troop deployment to Greenland. Invariant 'mutual_defense_pact' appears stressed.
ERROR: economic.policy: President announces 10% tariff on goods from 8 NATO allies opposing Greenland takeover, threatening 25% by June. This violates allianceCohesionPolicy.
INFO: diplomatic.channel: Joint de-escalation plea received from Norway (PM Støre) and Finland (President Stubb).
ERROR: President.response: Trump replies, stating Nobel Peace Prize snub removed 'obligation to think purely of Peace'. Policy shifted to 'what is good and proper' for US.
WARN: historical.ownership: President questions Danish 'right of ownership' to Greenland, citing absence of "written documents" and historical US presence claims.
DEBUG: alliance.logic: President asserts doing "more for NATO than any other person" and demands reciprocation from NATO.
FATAL: security.assessment: President concludes: "The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland."
ERROR: fact.validation: BBC Verify flags President's claim of 'ending 8 wars' as containing numerous inaccuracies and non-existent conflicts.
TRACE: nobel.protocol: Nobel Foundation previously stated prize "could not be passed on". Venezuelan opposition leader Machado awarded prize, subsequently gives medal to Trump. System is observing unexpected event propagation.
FATAL: system.inconsistency: Multiple critical geopolitical invariants violated. Core logic unrecoverable.
[TRACE] 3. Stack Trace (Mandatory)
UnhandledGeopoliticalException: RealityInvariantViolated: Expected 'alliance_commitment_pact' to be TRUE, but found FALSE.

The nobelPrizeProtocol.handler appears to have introduced a critical state mutation, cascading into foreignPolicy.actions without proper validation, leading to an unhandled exception
enforceMutualDefense when a core alliance_commitment_pact invariant failed.
4. Post-Mortem Notes
- REGRESSION: Trust in multilateral defense frameworks has significantly degraded post-latest deployment.
- KNOWN ISSUE: 'ExecutiveDecision' module exhibits unpredictable behavior when 'personal_grievance_threshold' is exceeded.
- WORKAROUND: European component
alliance.integrityattempting to self-correct via symbolic troop deployments and diplomatic appeals. Effectiveness TBD. - FIXED (temporarily): Nobel Peace Prize medal physically transferred, though
nobel.protocolexplicitly forbids this. Implies a bypass of validation rules. - TODO: Re-evaluate
factVerification.serviceperformance. High rate of 'alternative fact' ingestion without flagging. - INCIDENT: Tariffs initiated against allies, creating further friction. Economic module showing high strain.
