Design 25 §7. A person is not a module and holds no seat: nothing is addressed to them, nothing is delivered to them, and they have no durable consumer. What they have is permission to ask, as a list of tools or `*` for an administrator. Four properties the tests hold it to, each of which is a way of being wrong that would not announce itself: a person reaches nothing but tools, so one cannot claim a module said something; no ack subject, because authority over a consumer that does not exist is authority nobody would audit; no allow_responses, because a person who can answer a request is impersonating a module on a bus where anyone may serve a tool; and two people do not share an inbox.
