Lee Vu Nguyen Anastasia Pagnoni Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Inter Deontic Business Performative Bill of lading We typically think of documents as carrying information. However, certain kinds of documents do more thanthat: they are not only informative but also performative in that they represent rights. When these documentsare in paper form or some other physical medium, holding the document indicates holding the right. Since thedocument represents a right, a hazard is that by duplicating the document, one may fraudulently claim a newright. For this reason, physical documents that represent rights are both tamper resistant and copy resistant.However, problems arise when such performative documents are converted to electronic form: duplicates arebit for bit perfect and undetectable. Thus, the normal heuristic of uniqueness of the document token asrepresenting the uniqueness of the right no longer holds for performative electronic documents. This isespecially challenging when the rights are transferable, as with various financial instruments such as stocks andbonds. This paper presents an analysis, based on deontic logic, about the necessary requirements forelectronic documents and their corresponding electronic procedures in order to guarantee the uniqueness ofrights and prevention of fraud.
