 **How do we proceed?** **How do we proceed?**
 +
 +1/ "proto-personhood" for trees: 'law', relationships of management & property
 +
 +2/ "philosophical": why
 +
 +3/ "physicality": 'functionality', relationships to other people/things
 +
 +A lot of trees have numbers, all trees have a owner in Belgium but with different status (forest, private property, city of bssls)
 +
 +So maybe interesting to add the parameter of 'owner/user' to the series of tree-parameters and talk about 'lineage/species' instead of nationality
 +
 +-> who owns it? Who has an interest in using it?
 +
 +A tree is defined by lineage but also by 'the context': a tree in the city will be different, climbed, polluted, dependant on humans (candle stick prunage)...)
 +
 +-> where do the seeds come from? where did it grow up?
 +
 +We make a checklist and look at it from different perspectives
 +
 +Perspective of a tree: does not want to be chopped off & wants the right to light, soil & water
 +
 +
 +Day 2
 +
 +- looked at 'Oak du marais' in rue des Minimes, transplanted 6 years ago from somewhere else, serves as a 'bar', a meeting place, lighted by humans, hosts birds...
 +
 +- look at trees in front of Walvis, planned to be chopped: platans, protest because they are the 2 only trees at that side of the Boulevard (between Yser & Porte de Ninove), and because they will be replaced by 3 new trees planted 3,5 m closer to the bar (effect: the terrace will be half as big)
 +
 +- discussion on the 'arboresceal persona'
 +
 +We create it and integrate it in our daily language, start taking it into account -> method of 'invocation', it will start to exist
 +
 +Look at the bigger picture: what if trees have legal identity & rights? 
 +How will we co-live with them: as separate entities or as chimera of tree/humans
