Researchers have developed PAVE, a novel cognitive architecture for generative agents that enables them to reason about and execute legitimate rule violations. PAVE's four modules—Perception, Assessment, Verdict, and Emulation—allow agents to analyze contexts, judge the necessity and proportionality of violating a rule, and then act within a bounded scope. When tested in a traffic simulation environment called Voville, agents equipped with PAVE demonstrated improved decision-making, adhering to properties like legitimate violation, authority deference, and bounded scope, and were rated as more plausible by human evaluators.
