Chapter 16 — Sovereignty, Paragraph 7.1 (§16.00.07.01)

At the same time, in the digital world, in stark difference to the analogue, state territory is dynamic—it is the information processing environment in the digital world that has been created by that state’s Beings (see §17.00.11). Although appearing to be dominated, for the moment at least, by large online private platforms (in a way that draws parallels with the company states of the colonial era), governments may in the future decide to stake their sovereignty claims more forcefully, particularly taking into account the transformation of (their) citizens into users (see §17.00.10 and §12.00.11).
