Deep dive
A worldwide pattern of debt bondage has been set by incorporating governments and by training people to play the fictional roles of “artificial persons.” Those fictions have no natural productive capacity; they are debtors by design and act as transmitting utilities for human energy.
An artificial legal “person” is a dead entity—a legal-fiction persona on the stage of the theatre of commerce, under foreign Admiralty/Maritime jurisdiction, the international “Law of the Sea.” You, by contrast, are born into your own sovereign estate of body, mind, and soul. As a sentient man or woman you live under sovereign Common Law jurisdiction—the national “Law of the Land.”
Common Law tracks Natural Law: a living measure of right and justice shared by human beings and drawn from Nature, not from social rules alone. Under Natural Law, all people are born equal and carry unalienable rights.
Your sovereign jurisdiction—including your inborn unalienable rights—cannot be stripped from you without your fully informed, willing consent.
Legal “person” actors for incorporated governments, banks, and other corporate bodies must contract with other legal “person” actors to pull commercial energy. They presume you are also acting as a legal person in legal-fiction commerce; that is why they seek “performance.” They always want the NAME, and often the creation date of the legal person, so they can establish joinder and an adhesion contract.
They need a “PERSON.” They cannot contract straight with a living man or woman. They need someone to consent—knowingly or not—to take responsibility for the PERSON. That consent is joinder.
Through joinder, the living man or woman becomes a party to the action involving the person: one case in legal-fiction commerce.
When a living name is mirrored by registration of an artificial legal person on a birth certificate, an estate trust is formed (for example, MR JOHN DOE TRUST). Anyone unknowingly in joinder to that fiction NAME can be treated as trustee of the trust’s alleged debts. An aware living man or woman can separate from the fiction NAME and stand as rightful agent, beneficiary, and executor or executrix of that trust.
Legal actors try to engage the “person” by letter, phone, or roadside stop, to form and enforce contracts. Treating a living man or woman as a fictional person to force unwitting joinder is the wrong of personage, often carried by barratry—false claims in court. The word “barratry” is fittingly linked to the Bar Association.
Under Common Law (Law of the Land), both sides must enter every contract knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally—or the contract is unenforceable and void.
Under Admiralty/Maritime jurisdiction (Law of the Sea), consent is often presumed from silent acquiescence unless the party rebuts that presumption.
If you do not wish to accept their offer (presentment), you must rebut the presumption that you are acting as a fictional legal person.
Separate the fiction from the living
The first move is to separate yourself from the legal fiction. Answer to the artificial legal person NAME and you contract by joinder into a liable debtor. Stand truthfully as a man or woman—not acting as an artificial legal person—and the two are divided.
Years of conditioning make that separation slow, in mind and in the world. A strong, lawful habit is simply to verify everything.
You are not obliged to answer questions or hand over government ID. To uphold government of the People, your role is less to answer than to ask. You have the right to know who claims against you, who the injured party is, to conditionally accept any claim upon verification, to reserve rights without prejudice, and then to remain silent so as not to incriminate yourself.
When people stop exercising their rights, governance turns against them and the People are monetized. Offices of de jure, unincorporated government are often empty of de jure public servants working for the People in a true public capacity. The “public” State has been captured by financial piracy and runs as a commercial enterprise under Admiralty/Maritime contract—Law Merchant, international Law of the Sea.
The definitions below fit the de facto incorporated State, where agencies and all artificial legal persons are effectively corporate franchises.

Public capacity vs private capacity — the central distinction
Private
To be “in the private” is to live in private capacity as a man or woman—flesh and blood, mind, spirit, and life. All are created equal sovereigns, with unalienable rights and property, including credit equal to valuable human energy. Natural men and women are creditors: they are born with productive capacity. Their right to contract is unlimited; they carry unlimited liability as responsible adults. They stand outside and above the State. From Latin privatus—set apart, belonging to oneself (not to the state).
Public
To be “in the public” is to act in public capacity as an accommodation party in joinder to an artificial person created and ruled by the State. Those who play legal-fiction roles for the State receive revocable privileges and benefits under legislative “Acts.” As artificial persons they are debtors: created without innate productive capacity. Their right to contract is limited; they have limited liability as “creatures of the State,” its legal children. They stand inside and under the State. From Latin publicus—of the people; of the state; done for the state.
