Co-processing is possible, but not all processing is equal

With the processing of information taking place anyway, automatically, in both the analogue and the digital worlds, co-processing is, of course, possible—that is, many Beings may be processing the information of other Beings or Things simultaneously. For example, a discussion may be taking place between two individuals, while at the same time, in the background, information on them is being processed by a myriad of organisations. Notwithstanding that each one of these processing operations is identifiable and singular, all can take place simultaneously. Of course, the fact that co-processing is possible does not mean that all co-processing is equal, that is, that all Beings have equal processing rights to a Being or Thing. Depending on the state concerned, and the rights afforded to its individuals, processing, even if simultaneous, may differ widely. In essence, this is a matter of control: control is the ability of a Being to allow or prohibit the processing on a dataset by other Beings (see §06.00.00). With regard to specific processing operations on a Thing or a Being, control is exercised by only one Being. The more processing operations that are controlled by a Being, the more control it has over a Being or a Thing (see §06.00.02)—up to the point of the Being or Thing becoming its property (i.e. the Being having the ability to destroy that Being or Thing).
