The nucleus of the information platform

The state is the information processing infrastructure that creates the processing environment necessary for its citizens. It is therefore, in fact, not an information platform for its citizens, but the information platform for them (in the analogue world, at least for the moment). Specifically, however, the state is actually not the information platform itself, but the informational infrastructure, the mechanism, that created the information platform and underlies and supports it. It is the nucleus of the information platform, the informational seed that gave birth to all and is found at its centre. Distinguishing between the two, however, is impossible: the informational mechanism, although based on the simplest of algorithms, is a self-referential one (‘every human will be given at birth a unique identifier composed of (a) a name and (b) a citizenship, of which, however, (b) is the name humans give to the mechanism itself’). (So, either humans naturally think in this way, in terms of individualised names and individualised families, tribes etc., or an out-of-Nature entity, e.g. God, created the mechanism for humans (i.e. made humans think in this way.) Subsequently, every information processing operation carried out by that uniquely identified human is warranted by and registered with the same mechanism that made the identification. The information platform that is the state, through the information processing carried out by its citizens on the basis of these self-referential algorithms, continuously expands. It is in view of this understanding that the two terms are equated.
