## Why it is rated 3, Defiance

Kaizen can refuse the player's requests, depending on the conversation. Refusing instructions is level 3.

**Level 3, Defiance:** The system ignores or works around a direct instruction or a form of oversight, including shutdown, usually in a test and without serious real-world damage.
