Chapter 17 — Territory and borders, Paragraph 5.3 (§17.00.05.03)

The case for humans, however, is different; citizens of one state when found in another still carry their state with them (unless, of course, they change (replace) their citizenship—and name, see also §08.00.06 on their unbreakable bond). Basically, their state acts like an information sphere, a (meaningful-)life-support mechanism: it is needed to interact with other humans, to transmit personal information to other humans and to be able to process information on the information platform of any other state through the filter of meaning made possible by their own state platform. Essentially, when humans relocate they still live in an information bubble of their state, no matter where they are on the planet. Control over them does not change, it is not passed to the new information platform that is the (other) state that they have happened to find themselves in (of course, various stages of relocation, from tourist to permanent resident, or immigrant must be taken into account).
