Abstract [eng] The authors formalise a taboo as a prohibition on speaking (informing). Three levels of norms are distinguished. First are basic prohibitions, Forbidden X, i.e. norms which prohibit basic actions, Norm(¬X). Second-level norms comprise primary taboos which prohibit information about facts or fakes, Norm(¬Inf(X)), but permit them to happen. Third-level norms comprise meta-taboos, which prohibit information that a primary taboo exists, Norm(¬Inf(Norm(¬Inf(X)))). A taboo on the essential causes A of an effect E can be officially camouflaged with a fake relation-ship between certain facts B and E.
