Names, or are either names of the real entities concerned, or the
names of the fictitious entities concerned: real entities concerned,
are, subjects of possession & action, agents & instruments. Subjects of
possession are immoveable, moveable non-vehicular, vehicles: vehicles
are by land, water, air. Agents are Immoveable (portions of
the earth's surface) valuable for their unincreasing matter, or
for their increasing produce. Agents are inanimate, or animate,
animate for are either rational or irrational. Rational agents are
considered either in respect of such of their acts by which happiness
is increased, or in respect of such of their acts by which happiness
is diminished. These latter are misdeeds, and &, in so far as they are objects
of prohibition from agents in a particular situation,
are offences. A rational agent in so far as he addresses to another
in whom it is in his power to produce diminution of happiness
an expression of will intimating a desvie thus by the agent
so addressed, action, in a determinate shape signified, shall be performed,
issues thereby a command: if that it be not performed
but abstained from a prohibition, in either case he creates an obligation:
an obligation positive, to perform the action, an obligation
negative, to abstain from it. Revoking the command or
the prohibition he cancels the obligation: to revoking the command he substitutes to it
permission not to perform the action: revoking the prohibition, he substitutes to it permission to perform it. Prohibiting all persons but one
from making use of a certain article, moveable or immoveable, permitting
at the same time, that individual to make use of it, he confers
on that individual a right to it. Commanding one individual to
perform certain acts of a nature beneficial to a certain other individual
he confers on the second individual a right to certain
correspondent services to be rendered by the first.
