Are the rules of what costs you social credit score available?

Probably (although it makes more sense for them to be vague) but you shouldn't really care about the paper rules anyway, instead here are the real rules:
Rule One: there are no rules.
Rule Two: you must pretend Rule One does not exist. Instead pretend that there is a set of clear, objective, and just rules that apply to everyone equally and fairly; that it is possible to live without ever violating a rule; that no one is above the rules; that the rules aren't made up on a need-to basis by the powerful.
Rule Three: arguing against the rules is against the rules.
You forgot some people are going to be more equal than others.
This is one of the best comments I have ever seen on the web. Thank you for writing it.

Yes, as well as how you earn it back. Eg, by donating blood and other kinds of "good deeds"
