"The machine is to accept no externally-introduced executable code except in the form preferred for making modifications (i.e. source.)"
Since most of the points here seem to be coming directly from lisp machine (I say this because that's what most of the site is about, from reading various articles in the past), is this how they worked?

"The machine shall never tell a lie to the operator. It shall obey all orders given to it through the human interface devices, without attempting to pass judgement on their legality or morality. The machine shall not put the interests of any third party (including society in the abstract) above those of its operator."
