It is the importance of the dataset concerned, that is, the state, that sets these rules apart. In other words, this set of rules (the political system) determines how the information platform that is the state functions in practice each time—how it runs, that is, what processing operations are allowed on it and by it. In other words, the political system is, basically, the state system, if one replaces the word ‘polis’ with the word ‘state’, as per the former’s original use (on the use of ‘system’ in this analysis, see §01.00.04). (Similarly, in computing terms a political system can be visualised as an operating system: it includes, and provides, the rules under which any information processing happens.)
