[s-b] Proposal: Internalized panic

Proposal:  Internalized panic

[["Look what you've done.  Now The Computer is going to go and do
something rash like classify buttons or knobs or something and
order them removed from everything in Alpha Complex.  This could
take us weeks to undo!"]]

[[Panic Buttons are cute and all, but on top of the synonym debacle,
anything that continuously destroyed them would break the emergency
procedure.]]

Amend Rule 0 (In Case of Emergency) by replacing the text starting
with "Each PEP has in his possession a Game Object called a Panic
Button." and ending with "If there exist at least four Panic Buttons
which are On," with this text:

       Each PEP has a Mental State, which is exactly one of Calm
       (default) or Paranoid.  Mental States can only change as
       explicitly described by this rule.

       A PEP can set his Mental State by posting a message to a
       Public Forum (or any forum that was a Public Forum within
       the past month) stating that he does so, and specifying
       his new Mental State.

       If at least four PEPs are Paranoid,

and by replacing this text:

       All Panic Buttons become Off.

       If at any point during the procedure, there are less than
       four Panic Buttons On,

with this text:

       All PEPs become Calm.

       If, at any point during the procedure, there are less than
       four Paranoid PEPs,
