The introduction of novel technology has oftentimes changed the concept of ownership. Non-fungible tokens are a recent example, as they allow a decentralized way to generate and verify proof of ownership via distributed ledger technology. Despite crucial uncertainties, these tokens have generated great enthusiasm for the future of digital property and its surrounding economy. In this regard, I think there is an untapped opportunity in applying a hypertext approach to augment such highly structured ownership-based associations. To this end, in this work I propose hyperownership, based on the premises that property is the law of lists and ledgers, and that hypertext is an apt method to inquiry such a ledger system. In spite of the significant risks and challenges to realize such a vision, I believe that it has great potential to transform the way with which we interact with digital property.
翻译:新技术的引进往往改变了所有权的概念。不可变符号是一个最近的例子,因为它们允许一种分散的方式,通过分布式分类账技术生成和核实所有权证明。尽管存在关键的不确定因素,但这些符号仍然对数字财产的未来及其周围经济产生了巨大的热情。在这方面,我认为在应用超文本方法来扩大这种高度结构化的所有权型协会方面,有一个尚未利用的机会。为此,我提议在这项工作中,基于财产是清单和分类账法的前提,以及超文本是调查这种分类账制度的合适方法,超文本是改变我们与数字财产互动方式的巨大潜力。
