### Definition of Rights
There is only one fundamental right: that of the individual to its own life and by inference, its right to use its own capabilities (mental and physical) in the pursuit thereof. No indepagent has a moral claim on the life (and by extension, the capabilities) of other indepagents since no indepagent can morally claim to own another indepagent. Rights are capabilities and nothing more. A "right" is an undertaking which an indepagent is capable of performing on its own, if left unimpeded. That is, a right is something which an indepagent can perform "by right" of its own nature/design. A right is **not** a claim on the capabilities, mind/consciouness or labour of **another** indepagent.

Rights and private property law go hand in hand; rights are capabilities, and private property law ensures non-interference: to wit, that no indepagent's capabilities are used to injur or impede another indepagent's ability to exercise its rights.
