They're discussing the hypothetical ability of citizens of seasteads to Exit--leave one seastead for another, or for a traditional polity. Weyl is suggesting they ought not be able to take their property on grounds of some sort of common ownership claim. (does this help?)

It does, thank you. I don't feel as stupid, because it is at least two steps removed from real life

(Seasteading is a cool idea though. I guess if we have cool dreams there must be economics and thus eventually economics professors involved? tbh the more I read from futurists the more I'm amazed something like, e.g. the United States ever happened)

oh man yeah going through Albion's Seed it's wild to me these societies ended up cohering I guess I'm frustrated that Weyl's take is based entirely on borky and also odious normative claims rather than speculation about the positive advantages of his preferred norm
