Chapter 24 — Property, Paragraph 2.1 (§24.00.02.01)

Property is only one among many attributes of a dataset; it is always relevant to specific processing operations, but it is never absolute, in the same way that total control is impossible. In other words, the restrictions over property reflect the impossibility of complete control over any dataset, even though property’s existence means in practice more control over a dataset than, for example, partial ownership (lease) or no ownership (common goods). (See also §22.00.08, on the platform right of liberty, where it is clarified that all humans have (some) control over all (Things and Beings) on the information platform that is their state.) In the same vein, this specific attribute, meaning property, may or may not exist for a specific dataset—not all Things or Beings belong to a Being.
