I recall lots of unicode obfuscators were popular turning letters to similar looking symbols to bypass filters/censors when the forum/websites didn't filter unicode and filters were simple.

Crime is mostly individual and income-driven, so its both not community-policed and inversely proportional to income level.
Laws against crime require police to effectively enforce them, as community cannot "reduce crime" without significant investment and focus on it(police is significantly more effective vs vigilantes/citizen patrols).
Whichever this scheme tries to do, is effectively collective punishment for community not allocating resources for policing itself.
What is the real-world fidelity of this "decoding both perceptual and mental content"? Can it record dream as video?

The only thing that passed the test of time,so far is specificity: if you ask for multiple things or vague things, you receive half-baked answers trying to cover all bases. If you ask for specific one thing and describe it, the answer quality goes up;e.g. LLMs creating multi-part content mix up the parts and qualities of them, so e.g. asking for Part 1*specific, will always get a better answer than "list all parts of X"(quality drops with length of list).

The macros are fine as concept, i've used something similar before for reducing code size,e.g. defining hundreds of similar functions and stuff.
What is incomprehensible and puts the entire thing into "Obfuscated C" territory is one-letter variables. You'll need to memorize all of them and can't reuse them in normal code. If at least the variables were self-descriptive i'd support such coding style, but it clearly need comments.
