You have two options that I can see (without being guilty of a crime).
Either
- Breathing is a regulated action, or
- The contract does not prohibit breathing.

I SHALL NOT interpret the rules so as to proscribe unregulated actions.
The contract mandates a proscription on breathing, which is an
unregulated action.
By these two facts, I cannot come to the obviously correct conclusion
that the contract proscribes an unregulated action without breaking
rule 2152.
There really is no way out of this, is there?

From the dictionary I get:
Proscribe -
forbid, especially by law.
synonyms: forbid, prohibit, ban, bar, disallow, rule out, embargo, veto,
make illegal, interdict, outlaw, taboo
"gambling was proscribed"
Since "make illegal" and "prohibit" are capitalized equivalents for
SHALL
NOT in R2152, that's the interpretation that makes the most sense to me.
