function are_rules_violating(rules: gtv, variables: map<text, gtv>): boolean
```

Checks whether any of the rules in the gtv are violated currently.

Throws `"INVALID RULE"` if the gtv does not start with "and", implying it's a simple rule,
but the length is not 3 (operator, variable and value).

**Parameters**

* **rules** — the gtv rules to check.
* **variables** — the state to check the rules against.
