Give me 10 possible names and words from various areas and fields. > [!ai]+ AI > > 1. Fiduciary Holding > 2. Deferred Possession > 3. Beneficiary Ownership > 4. Stewardship Arrangement > 5. Consignment Ownership > 6. Custodial Hold > 7. Escrow Ownership > 8. Trustee Ownership > 9. Contingent Possession > 10. Guardian Assured Ownership Hm. What I have so far is "Custody over promissory". By which I mean: having actual custody of your data is better than having a promise to be handed your data upon request. So I am looking for a statement that expresses the principle that it's better to have the actual data in your possession than merely to have a promise that you can get it. Give me: 1. A critique of the current statement 2. Reasoning about the properties of a better and more precise statement 3. Five proposals for a better and more precise statement > [!ai]+ AI > > 1. Critique of the current statement: > "Custody over promissory" is somewhat vague and could be misinterpreted. "Promissory" implies a promise or obligation, which is clear, but "custody" typically refers to guardianship or responsibility, and in this context could be confused with having physical possession of something. > 2. Reasoning about the properties of a better and more precise statement: > A more precise statement should clearly differentiate between physical possession and a promise or obligation. It should imply a sense of immediacy for physical possession over the delay involved in obtaining something you're promised. Furthermore, it could incorporate notions of security, accessibility and control associated with having actual data as opposed to relying on someone else's promise. > 3. Five proposals for a better and more precise statement: > - "Possession over Promise" > - "Direct Access over Deferred Possession" > - "Ownership over Assurance" > - "Immediate Access versus Promised Delivery" > - "Data in Hand beats Data on Demand" Ah, right, custody implies you have physical control over it but not necessarily ownership. You're the responsible custodian. Okay. Possession over Promise is good. So is Data in Hand over Data on Demand.
