Control can be delegated

It is practically impossible for any Being to directly exercise control over the myriad of information processing operations that take place each second and which lie under its control. Beings can therefore delegate control to other Beings, in a hierarchical system. Evidently, if we wish to examine who actually controls a processing operation, we would have to move up the ladder; at the top is invariably a state (this is because it is states that create the information processing environments in which humans (and other Beings) live (see §11.00.03), taking into account, of course, at all times that states do not have a will themselves, but rather their governments do (see §11.00.08).
