Abstract
In positing a relationship between property and personhood, Margaret Jane Radin introduced an influential critique of traditional property theory, including law and economics. In this essay I propose an alternative account of the 'personhood' intuition, focusing on real property. This account of personhood focuses on the objective features of individual capacities for direct social relations rather than on the subjective relationship between a particular individual and a thing or place. Places like the home are significant for individual identity because rights of access provide the individual with control over the direct social relations that occur there. I further argue that maintaining this focus on the direct social relations fostered by rights of access to places can help us understand the nature of community interests in relation to certain kinds of public places and provide a basis for arguing for limitations to traditional property doctrines such as expropriation and trespass.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
