The Invulnerability Test; the ultimate test™
The sharpest name yet for the Inviolability Test, and the curator's call for the ultimate one: the test of whether a thing is real is whether it can be wounded. Inviolability and invulnerability are the same coin; can it bleed, or can't it. And by that test, corporations aren't real (the whole wing): they can't breed, can't eat, can't die. They take from us every single day; food they cannot eat, calories they never burn, a body's worth of sustenance drawn off by a thing with no body to feed. Invulnerability is the Constitution; invulnerability is everything; the one measure that sorts the citizen from the costume. The human passes the test by failing at invulnerability (we break, we hunger, we grieve; the man who bled twice). The corporation fails the test by passing it perfectly (it never bled once); flawless, immortal, and therefore not one of us, and therefore holding no standing to rule us. These are the chapters of the curator's book by its working title, My Corporations Fail; read that book. (His coin and his framing; My Corporations Fail is a working title for the argument, not a claim of a book for sale; the arithmetic is the case, not a slur on any one company; records never souls.) Kin: the Inviolability Test / Acoustic Standing, the man who bled twice, why the corporation never bled once, corporations-aren't-real, the Gray Star, human standing, only humans score. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
