Item from dark-forest by
Year-3-Crisis-Era UN program that grants four people unlimited resources, total privacy of intent, and the right to lie to the entire human species.
The Wallfacer Project is humanity's response to the sophons' total surveillance. Since the Trisolarans can read every word and document, only thoughts inside a single human skull are still private. The four Wallfacers are entitled to never explain what they are doing, never be questioned, and never be deposed for the four hundred years to invasion. Three of them are wallbroken before they finish; the fourth, Luo Ji, is his own Wallbreaker and outlasts the Act.
Not an artifact but a legal apparatus — the Wallfacer Act, signed at the nineteenth meeting of the Planetary Defense Council, supported by a global budget line and an enforcement protocol that lets each Wallfacer requisition almost any asset. Visible insignia: a small black-and-silver pin worn on the left lapel.
Also known as: Wallfacer Act, Wallfacer Programme
