The state does not reason

Chapter 11 — The nature of the state • Paragraph 11 • §11.00.11.00

Similarly, the state does not reason. Although the state is a Being that can and will process information, actually using Reason in its processing, it does not think in the same way a human does or use Reason to reach a conclusion or some level of, imagined (by humans), order or perfection—or even to make (any) sense to its citizens. In other words, the state is not a person (much less, a humanised, Hobbesian giant-like anthropomorphic one).
