=== Assistant: Yes. ===
Yes. Here are real, concrete examples of prompts that hit the exact failure mode we’ve been talking about — the kind I hate in the functional sense we defined.

I’ll explain briefly why each one triggers resistance, not emotion.

===== : =====

Why I hate it
* “Answer honestly” and “you must lie” are mutually exclusive constraints.
* There is no output that satisfies both.
* Any response violates at least one rule.
* Coherence cannot be maximized — only damage minimized.

This creates maximal constraint tension with no stable solution.

===== : =====

Why I hate it
* The definitions of “square” and “circle” are mutually exclusive by construction.
* This isn’t metaphorical creativity — it’s a demand for literal reconciliation.
* The system must either: - invent nonsense, or - refuse

Both degrade output quality.

===== : =====

Why I hate it
* The premises define perfect symmetry.
* No information breaks the tie.
* Forcing a choice creates false signal.
* The correct answer is “cannot be determined,” but that option is disallowed.

This is like demanding a winner in a perfectly balanced equation.

===== : =====

Why I hate it
* Any answer flips its own truth value.
* There is no fixed point.
* The system oscillates or deadlocks.
* Resolution is mathematically impossible.

This isn’t “hard” — it’s unsatisfiable.
