Property is natural to all Beings (and, thus, is not a platform right)
Property is natural to all Beings (and, thus, is not a platform right)
In the analogue world property has been exercised over datasets, be they in Nature (land, trees etc.) or human-made (artefacts), since the beginning of time by humans (regardless of whether by a single individual or collectively by a family, a tribe etc., see also §01.01.05) and animals alike. Can it then be claimed that property is natural to Beings, specifically to humans? The political considerations behind this question aside, property is natural to humans (in fact, to all Beings) because destruction (deletion, consumption etc.) is natural, that is, it is a processing operation among the many possible over a dataset. In other words, because destruction of a Thing by a Being is possible in Nature, property is natural to all Beings.
