I think a translation layer to a lower-density language might be a good solution; e.g. Iverson's divisible-by-11 check, 0=11|-/d, can be verbosely done in Python with

import numpy as np

def flippedSubtract(a, b): return b - a

flipSubUfunc = np.frompyfunc(flippedSubtract, 2, 1)

def isDivBy11(number): digits = list(map(int, str(number))) discriminant = flipSubUfunc.reduce(digits) return (discriminant % 11) == 0

Though Claude already understands (has already seen?) 0=11|-/d so it's hard to tell for this example

As for the cat attack, my gut feeling is that it has to do with the LLM having been trained/instructed to be kind
