directive information entity permission directive (1) There is some ambiguity regarding process repition. This distinction may point to the central question of whether or not we permit 'universals' or . Take the following example: In the case of 'permission to destroy excess tissue' the instance of a 'process of destruction' is permitted only once. However, in the case of 'pemission to share data' this process may be performed multiple times. A 'directive information entity' that prescribes an allowable action, where that action is otherwise impermissible. Cooper Stansbury, Elizabeth Umberfield, Kathleen Ford, Marcy Harris
