Chapter 02 — Beings, Paragraph 12.1 (§02.00.12.01)

Although these Things have no needs of their own (and are not, therefore, Beings), it is the fact that at the time of their creation they were given an enormous, unforeseeable and unchartable number of purposes that decisively separates them from any other Thing. They thus artificially approximate Beings, because their many purposes give them an artificial will of their own. (Of course, organisations are also artificial (created by humans), therefore the correct term for ‘artificial Beings’ should be ‘artefact Beings’; artificial is used in this analysis for ease of understanding (i.e. no unnecessary introduction of neologisms purposes.)
