tubby, in an attempt to understand what you posted:
At low speed a nose down demand referenced to IAS is introduced and the law changes to direct(stick to surface).
If you put enough force into your desired input (I want the nose down! or up!) with the side stick, using your hand, you will override computer selected/directed inputs ...
High speed stability introduces a nose up demand but pitch protection is lost.
or will you disconnect it?

As I understand your post, override various law levels is what you can do. Risk is that protections you are used to having will be lost in some law states.

This gives me a mental image of the pilot in a continuing contest with the robot over control surface positions ... until something happens and pilot restores normal law?

Do I read you correctly?
