Artefacts

Things can be created by Beings (animals create nests, humans make tools etc.). They invariably have a purpose, that is, to increase the information processing of their creators, although, of course, their actual uses may vary widely (for instance, a hammer can be used in construction but also as a weapon - see also §05.00.11 and §04.00.14). Organisations and artificial Beings can also create Things to serve their (human-defined) purpose (see §02.00.09). Humans augment their information processing through the control they exercise either over Things or over the Beings which they have created—and these Beings may create and control Things in turn (for organisations and artificial Beings, see §02.00.06 and §02.00.12).
