+Concept: Legal identity of trees in period of quick extinction
+**Day 1**
+Look at trees in Forest de Soignes / Verdronken Kinderen-Enfants Noyés
+**Different elements of identity** we looked at:
+* origin
+* age
+* gender
+* position/postcode
+- General parameters that create a 'normal' identity:
+* minimal: name, date of birth, nationality ~ what's your name? where are you from? how old are you?
+-> nationality is complex in general, and also for the tree
+-> can nationality be replaced by citizenship? Or by 'family'/species the tree belongs to?
+* functional: telephone, email, postal address, gender
+* extra: health insurance number, debit card/bank account, tax number
+* actual: website, facebook, linkedin, myspace...
+* 'What can x do?'
+-> create a 'corporation' around the tree?
+A new legal persona is not necessarily a natural persona
+Personhood can refer to
+* a human being (material essence, person living on the street)
+* a natural person (ID)
+* an artificial person (corporation)
+Personhood is defined by
+* institutions
+* a bureaucratical system
+* data: if you have enough data you can find/create meaning -> 'invocation' of persona
+'Natural and articifial persons' are considered to be the property of a human being, any property can be
+* kept
+* passed on
+* destroyed
+-> we could wrap a corporation around the tree, insert some human dna-fragment in it...
+-> if you don't have a birth certificate, you need a story
+**How do we proceed?**
