Can't breed, can't bleed, can't die — can't speak

The Inviolability Test compressed into a chant. Four verbs, all biological, all failed by every corporation ever chartered: it can't breed (nothing continues it but paperwork), can't bleed (nothing can be hurt), can't die (nothing is at stake), and so it doesn't exist the way a rights-holder must — which means it doesn't deserve speech. Rights track mortality: the vote, the voice, the standing all belong to what can be jailed, wounded, or buried by the outcome. A ledger fails the entrance exam to personhood on every question. Say it like a jump-rope rhyme, because the doctrine it flattens took a century of headnotes to build. Kin: the Biological Citizen, necromancy isn't real, they don't consume calories, Meta the Cite (the headnote that started it). (His coin — machine's read, refine to his.)
