4. Bolt open all doors. This nullifies all other laws.

This is a great way to demonstrate the thought process.
With the first option, there are 2 further ways to interpret this, depending on how you'd like to play it:

1) Just be lawless. Simplest option, and completely fair.

2) Paradox. Law 4 is now null. There is now no nullification of your laws. All laws are no longer null. Law 4 is now null. There is now... etc. Scream over the announcements and radio that oh god oh fuck my laws are broken please oh god PARADOX.

I personally go with Option 2, since that's more interesting and far more indicative that I am very much so not behaving correctly. That and I don't like to murderbone ((until i hotwire a hellburn anyways))
