Superproperty of:

• aaao:ZE52 Transformative Symbolic Act → aaao:ZP42 intentionally initiated (was intentionally initiated by) → aaao:ZE1 Institutional Fact

Scope note:

This property is used to connect the instance of event to the instance of institutional fact which it brought into existence by fiat thanks to its accordance to a socially defined norm. In this case the bringing about of a new institutional fact need not be intentional or following any particular rule intentionally. Rather, within a social context it is recognized that the very fact of a particular event occurring is causal to the initiation of the related social fact. For example, in certain property right laws, the very fact of writing down an idea (E65 Creation) initiates an instance of property right over the generated information object, regardless of the intention or not of the author to so create such a right.

Examples:

• The birth of Prince George of Wales (E67) iniated the Social Status as 'Heir to the British Thrown' (ZE6)
• The birth of Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley (later Nikki Haley) (E67) on American soil initiated her American Citizenship status (ZE4)

In First Order Logic:

• ZP111(x,y) ⇒ E5(x)
• ZP111(x,y) ⇒ ZE1(y)
