Scope note:

An instance of locative status is the collective ascription to an entity of a formal association to a geographic place. The substance of the locative status is the communal attribution of a defined association type between the designated entity and place. As opposed to connections created between entities and places through their passage through space and time, e.g.: the place of birth being a property of the birth event of an individual, locative statuses are created de jure rather than de facto and create a socially recognized connection between an entity and a location regardless the real or known spatiotemporal history of that object. For example, documentation may point to ambiguous evidence linking an object and a place such as the 'origin' of a person or the 'provenance' location of a physical object. In these cases, when we do not know the actual physical history of the object in question, but we do have a de jure attribution from which some knowledge may be derived, we can document and follow an instance of Locative Status for an object in relation to a geographic location.

Instances of locative status are recognizable through evidence of community members adopting the intentional stance of so recognizing this status, as observable from direct witnesses, through the reports of competent observers or through evidence of a declarative act initiating this status.

Instances of locative status may come to be through a formal process such as a declarative act of such definition, or may have arisen through habit, fiat or be of unknown origin. Instances of locative status may end either though a formal process, such as a new declarative act, or may simply fade out of use, be eliminated by fiat or be of unknown reason.

Examples:

• The Physical Locative Status (ZE43) of Hoa Hakananai'a and Moai Hava (E22) as 'has permanent location' Room 24 at the British Museum (E53) held by the British Museum (E74) (E74) (https://www.britishmuseum.org/about-us/british-museum-story/contested-objects-collection/moai)
• The Residential Status (ZE9) of Donald Trump (E21) as ‘has former or current residence’ The White House (E53) 2025 - Present holds for the U.S. Federal Government (E74) (https://www.whitehouse.gov/)
