It may be stored in the neurons in the brain and not on paper, but it says "or otherwise recorded matter", so get rid of it :) If you remove all pre-recorded knowledge in a program, you remove also the evaluation terms, piece square tables, all the search/extension/pruning rules that are based on chessknowledge, in fact even the chess rules must be deleted. You have no program if you choose to interpret the FIDE rules like that. -S.
