Goethe wrote:
How about something more radical and simple? Leave "persons" as
referring to all types of persons (not just natural), but insert
a single sentence "persons consisting of the same set of natural
persons are the same person". This would limit the arbitrary
issue, and puts partnerships nicely in line with our ideas on
person ("no avatars, a person is who e is, likewise, a partnership
is who e is.") In fact, if the PP is upheld to be a person, even
the current ruleset might allow that a later partnership made up
of Zefram and myself was the same partnership on theses principles.
While leaving both contracts in effect.
If you think about it, it's not too much of an abuse to allow any set of
M people to form a single partnership with personhood
rights... getting M people to agree partnership with rules for
doing things is Not Easy.
Even given that those M people might agree to create additional
partnerships out of proper subsets, thus forming a bloc of 2^M-1
voters (including the natural persons)? Granted, this is Not
Easy, either.
Groups were basically an intermediate case in which each natural
person could belong to at most one partnership at a time.
