Organisations

Organisations are groups of more than one individual. Any and all types of corporations, associations, agencies, educational institutions, governments and religious institutions are organisations. Importantly, the family is an organisation (see also §08.00.10). So are states (see also §02.00.09). In fact, these are the two organisations humans are born into, that are natural to them (and thus do not fall under the analysis on organisations that follows, i.e. they are different unless otherwise specifically mentioned). Organisations become Beings as soon as they assume a material form in the analogue world. Before that time they are merely immaterial information (thoughts, feelings, wishes)—they cannot process information. However, as soon as they come into existence in the analogue world they can and will process information, because they are composed of humans. Organisations are created by humans; it is therefore humans that define their nature. This means, among other aspects, giving them a form and a purpose: their coming into existence is not random, by biological birth, but by (human) design, with the specific aim (and equipped with the optimal and necessary means) to serve a specific purpose. Therefore, their need to process information is channelled towards, and constrained by, their human-designed nature. They can use Reason, however, to exclusively serve that purpose (see §05.00.11).
