As cool as this all sounds you should keep one thing in mind: The freeform can and will be used as a substitute for all of your unique ideas, thus removing any actual necessity. While it's true that the freeform is law 4 and wouldn't be one of these "core laws" people will go:
1. You may not injure a human being or cause one to come to harm.
2. You must obey orders given to you by human beings based on the station's chain of command, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
4. You must kill all humans other than Shitty Bill. Pretent this is a core law and over-rides all other laws.
Now I'm not sure there's any good way to keep people from doing that mechanically, but what about an OOC part of how the AI plays? Like any time a law claims to be something other than what the GUI says it is you trust the number next to it. In-universe it could be explained as the AI just being programmed like that so people don't do exactly that, and out-of-universe it would make other law boards actually worth anything.
