Does legitimacy give rise to platform rights?

If the state carries out these three information processing operations (creation, storage and dissemination) as the natural result of personal information creation for its citizens (see §14.00.10), and states are, themselves, natural to humans, do these three types of processing give rise to any platform rights? In essence, they do—to the platform rights of equality, liberty and security (see §22.00.06 to §22.00.09). The creation of personal information by the state means that all humans are born equal in the eyes of the state (because all humans are given a name and a citizenship by it). Similarly, because there are no intermediaries in the individualisation relationship between a state and its citizens, all humans are born at liberty (from other humans). This information also needs to remain secure, at least for the duration of their lives (security of information). All of the above are logical inferences of the finding that states are natural information platforms for their citizens. At the same time, however, the above does not imply that individuals are the same as their information, the sum of the information created, stored and disseminated on the information platform that are their states (see, however, §01.00.01). Although this may be the case in the digital world, it is certainly not so in the analogue.
