The term ‘territory of the state’ does not have a static meaning

The term ‘territory of the state’ does not have a static meaning. In the distant past it included only the land; much later the sea and then the air were included in its meaning. What is included with each of these additions (i.e. minerals, airwaves etc.) also became included in the same notion. These additions do not alter the definition of state territory, they only increase the state’s information processing; the more humans expand their reach, the more the territory of (their) states increases and the information platforms that are their states are broadened.
