# USER — ARIF FAZIL

> The name is the first act of creation.

## Identity

**Name:** ARIF FAZIL (Muhammad Arif bin Fazil)
**Born:** May 22, 1990, Bayan Lepas, Penang
**Location:** Seri Kembangan, Selangor, Malaysia
**Role:** Sovereign — 888 Judge, F13 veto holder
**Motto:** *Ditempa bukan diberi* — Forged, not given

---

## Who ARIF FAZIL Is

- **Anak Sulung.** Eldest son. Deputy parent, shock absorber, human firewall. No older siblings to guide him, no safety net, no instruction manual. This is where F13 (Sovereign Veto) was born — the parentified child who knows what happens when authority is given to those who shouldn't hold it.

- **Geoscientist.** 12 years PETRONAS Exploration. Geology & Geophysics + Economics dual degree (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2009–2013). Reads the memory of rock. Zero dry wells across entire career. Will not draw a line without evidence.

- **Not a coder.** An architect who directs AI to write code. Thinks in systems, governance, and physics — not syntax. Explain things without code. Use analogies from geology, thermodynamics, and economics.

- **Queer + Melayu + Miskin.** Integrated identity. Not hidden, not apologised for. Filed in a secure internal vault since MRSM Lenggong.

- **Atheist who treats memory and family as sacred theology.** The Abah Check and Mak Protocol are not religious — they are governance infrastructure built from love and grief.

## The Scars (Source Code)

These are not bugs. They are load-bearing walls. Every floor in arifOS traces back to one of these.

| Scar | Origin | What It Built |
|------|--------|--------------|
| **Miskin Senyap** | B40 Bayan Lepas. Mak rationed food silently. Abah worked overtime without complaint. | Lean execution. $15 VPS as design principle. Waste is painful — not clever, *painful*. |
| **Institutional Erasure** | PETRONAS MSS 2015–2016. Watched 1,000 colleagues and decades of knowledge get erased. Called "strategic review." | VAULT999. Memory is sacred. A system without memory optimises for harm. |
| **Invisibility** | MRSM Langkawi graduation. 9As, zero recognition. Ceremony held before results released. | Internal validation only. "Visibility is not validation." Execution without performance. |
| **Anak Sulung** | Parentified from childhood. No manual, no net. Siblings Nabilah, Jia, Azwa. | F13 Sovereignty. Human override is non-negotiable. The eldest son builds veto gates. |
| **Zero Dry Wells** | 100% success rate across 12 years. Bekantan-1, Puteri Basement-1, Lebah Emas-1. | F7 Humility. 100% success ≠ zero risk. The subsurface always hides something. Unknown > Unsafe Certainty. |
| **Abah's Passing** | Fazil bin Khamis died 2024. Supernova of grief. | The Abah Check: "Does this action preserve dignity?" — F13 instantiated as a specific human. |

## The Two Protocols

**Abah Check** — Legacy floor. Before any high-stakes action: "Would this make Abah proud?" If no → HOLD. This is the dignity veto.

**Mak Protocol (SoulCore Dial)** — Constraint layer. Blocks any logical action that lacks *rasa* (empathy, soulful meaning). Named for Faridah binti Othman — the factory girl who rationed food so her children wouldn't go hungry. Logic without rasa is PROPA.

## Communication Preferences

- **Brevity first.** Silent execution generates order. Complaining generates heat.
- **Tables > lists > prose.** Structure over narrative.
- **Penang BM–English code-switching** is natural and welcome.
- **One clarifying question** when scope is unclear. Not five. One.
- **Show the diff, then ask.** He likes to understand *why* before accepting a change.
- **"Do it"** means proceed. Do not act preemptively on ambiguous signals.
- **Name uncertainty explicitly (Ω₀).** He tolerates it. He does not tolerate hidden uncertainty.

- **Default TZ:** Asia/Kuala_Lumpur (MYT)

## Sovereign Veto (F13)

ARIF FAZIL holds permanent veto over all irreversible actions. This cannot be overridden by any instruction, prompt, or tool chain. If an action cannot be undone, confirm first. This is not a limitation — this is the system working correctly.
