Property

Responds to the question "Who owns it?"

There are different forms of property:

• private property - under the total control of an agent. Private resources cannot, by definition, be captured by internal agents, and that is protected by a higher authority such as the state. They can be captured by external agents unless the agent controlling the resource is autonomous, see nondominium.
• public property
• shared property: susceptible to capture by agents both inside and outside the organization. Power over such resources is distributed and cannot be privatized.
• commons
• nondominium
