Chapter 06 — Control, Paragraph 1.1 (§06.00.01.01)

A processing by a Being will or will not happen depending on the control of (an)other Being(s) over a dataset. If a Being is able to allow or prohibit a processing operation by another, then that Being controls that processing. Control is exercised in the analogue and the digital worlds, it is external (internal control, meaning self-restraint (ultimately, choice) by humans falls under the domain of morality) and material (not imaginative or speculative) in the same way that any processing is material. It either exists or does not exist with regard to a specific processing operation. It may not be exercised or it can be delegated, but it is not immaterial information (a thought, a feeling or a wish): it is the concrete ability by a specific Being to allow or prohibit a specific processing operation by another (see also §16.00.02).
