Chapter 24 — Property, Paragraph 4.2 (§24.00.04.02)

Accordingly, because Things have no purpose (purpose being the result of need), no Thing’s purpose is to become the property of a Being. Similarly, even after a Thing becomes the property of a Being (for any period of time), and even though the Being will certainly process it in a way that serves its purposes, the Thing itself does not acquire a purpose (the purpose being imposed on it by the Being who happens to be its proprietor), meaning Things have no purpose, or rather their short-term purpose depends on their short-term use (see also §03.00.04).
