## Justification: why is `SovCBio` law needed?
Private property secures conscious agents against interference and ensures that they can exercise their liberties (capabilities) without fearing violence, duress and fraud from other conscious agents because conscious agents can be rationally deterred from volitionally infringing on liberty through the use of frameworks of incentives and disincentives since conscious entities respond to such frameworks out of self interest.
Private property secures conscious agents against interference and ensures that they can exercise their liberties (capabilities) without fearing violence, duress and fraud from other conscious agents because conscious agents can be rationally deterred from volitionally infringing on liberty through the use of frameworks of incentives and disincentives since (most) conscious entities respond to such frameworks out of rational self interest.
However, nature sets herself up as a universal antagonist that afflicts conscious life and interferes with their liberty relentlessly - and nature, being (to our knowledge) unconscious, cannot be subjected to a incentive framworks since it cannot rationally grasp its own self interest. With no uncertainty though, nature is a clear, persistent, and unrepentant offender against life and property.

When nature embodies its mischief in the form of contagions (disease, pestilence) and biohazards, the contagions themselves do not obey our laws or respond to rational disincentives either. Therefore, a perfectly well meaning, rational conscious entity who observes the principles of non-interference may become a vector of infection since the contagions which have hijacked him, do not observe those principles and cannot be reasoned with. Then, being infected with a contagion, that conagent can now infect other conagents.

The `SovCBio` law represents an area of discretion where politicians can opportunistically grant themselves new powers based on hazy reasoning. For that reason, we want to define clear, limiting principles around its purpose and scope.

`SovCBio` legislation shall concern itself solely with the following:
- The extra, positive injunctions of due diligence laid upon contagious conagents for the duration of their infectiousness -- the neglect of which may be made to constitute negligence at common law. Such injunctions shall fall into the following two categories:
- Injunctions against knowing carriers of a contagion.
- Injunctions against the general population for due diligence in the face of a contagion which is contagious before it triggers symptoms/clinical features and which therefore can be spread by an unknowing carrier.
- General and per-disease legal standards for what combinations of symptoms and/or clinical features constitute prima facie presumed knowledge upon the contagious conagent about its infectious state, in order to mediate intent at common law, when a conagent is accused of infecting another conagent.

- The broader, extra labour required to proactively counter-act nature's mischievous intrusions into human life and keep contagions and biohazards at bay within populated areas.
- The broader, extra labour required to control the communication of contagions and biohazards when they do arise.

As outlined above, it may be necessary to recruit natural resource owners, into complying with positive injunctions for due diligence both to keep contagions/biohazards at bay, and to control their spread when they do take root among the populace. Such injunctions shall take the form of a burden imposed on the natures owner to prove that they have sufficient capitals and/or infrastructure to fulfill said injunctions.
That is to say, the mechanism used by the legislature shall not be to expand the `SovCBio` branch and subsume the implementation of the measures into localized branches of the `SovCBio` branch, funded by increased taxes and spending. Rather, the reification of the injunctions shall take the form of a requirement upon natures owners to prove that they have implemented said due diligence requirements/goals, and can readily front the capitals necessary to mobilize their implementation of the due diligence requirements/goals.

In other words, instead of taxing and spending and centralizing the polity's CBio response mechanism implementation into the government, the tax remains uncollected by government (but very much still imposed on the natures owners) and kept within the private sector as a sort of reserve requirement to be kept readily on hand by natures owners to be nimbly deployed.
The `SovCBio` branch shall have the power to regularly audit natures owners to ensure their compliance with `SovCBio` law and to file suits of negligence against those natures owners who fail to comply, and legislatively defined penalties shall be defined for those natures owners found to be guilty.

In general it is intended that the natures owner ensure that their tenancy/rental contracts with their bailees enable the natures owners to do such works and upgrades as are required to meet due diligence injunctions, and obviously all such injunctions shall come into effect after legislatively defined grace periods.
