To first order, the degree to which your humanity is acknowledged by societal consensus is almost perfectly modeled by the territorial extent through which you can move pretty freely. I think this is why I react so strongly against walls/borders.

We are all simultaneously prisoners and prison wardens. There are people who we wouldn't let past our exclusivity claim borders under any circumstances, and places we would't be allowed in under any circumstances. Without threat of violence in both cases.

You could construct a ratio of some sort: (area you control)*(number of people who you would keep out under any circumstances)/(area controlled by people who wouldn't let you in under any circumstances).

Territorialityl is really an inhumane way to engineer humanity recognition. There's got to be a better way to let the mentally ill, diseased, physically disabled population live as best as they can without the rest of us effectively treating them like literal garbage to sweep-up.

loving this thread, but let me point out that you can flip this. As a woman, I'm extremely cautious about letting ANYONE into my apt, including eg nicely-dressed well-spoken person I've just been on a first date with. Apt can then be seen as the limited space I am a prisoner of+

while space that is generally considered public is a place that I only have a limited citizenship in. (and of course this holds true for many other categories) (I don't think this undermines your point by any means, just shows a different perspective on it)
