 #   '''Escalate proportionally based on their response.''' If they comply, the conflict may end. If they run, you may give chase. If they fight back, you may escalate to greater violence.
 #   '''Let anatomy be your guide.''' You cannot force an unrealistic outcome. A single punch cannot cause a vital organ to fail. A knife fight will result in serious bleeding that needs attention.
-This system puts the burden on the ''aggressor'' to justify their actions ICly and to understand the realistic mechanical outcomes of the anatomy system. It protects civilians through escalation guidelines, while criminals and police understand they chose a dangerous profession where violence can escalate immediately.
