Chapter 14 — State legitimacy • Paragraph 8 • §14.00.08.00

These three processing operations can be carried out only by states, at least in the analogue world. This is the situation with which humans have lived and been used to since the time they gained self-consciousness and started talking to each other. However, the situation in the digital world today remains contested (see also §07.01.06). To the extent that humans are the users of the digital world within the digital territories of states (see §17.00.11 and §17.00.12), states retain their monopoly. The role that the break-up of territoriality, as well as that of artificial Beings, will play remains to be seen (see §17.00.09 and §17.00.13).
