address

  1. postcode
  2. Postcode Address File
  3. section 116
  4. owner: Royal Mail
  5. corporate body
  6. fiction

a postcode starts as routing data for delivery; under section 116 of the Postal Services Act 2000, that routing data becomes relevant information inside a statutory file, with an owner, duties, reasonable terms, and OFCOM enforcement; this is the first injection of fiction; OFCOM identifies that owner as Royal Mail; ROYAL MAIL GROUP LIMITED is a registered company; the chain collapses there: address data becomes a statutory/corporate record held by a legal person; legal persons, and corporate bodies are fictions, and do not exist; the Postcode Address is fiction, and relates to delivery in the United Kingdom, section 116(3);

premise:
if fiction is part of a chain, the end point is fiction;
fiction can not mix with reality, the two can never meet;

proof

section 116 is the statutory source for the Postcode Address File (PAF); there is an owner for the time being, and postcodes are in the United Kingdom; OFCOM names that present owner as Royal Mail;

Extract from section 116 of the Postal Services Act 2000 concerning the Postcode Address File;
Postal Services Act 2000, section 116, Postcode Address File;
OFCOM excerpt stating that the Postcode Address File is currently owned and maintained by Royal Mail;
OFCOM, Postcode Address File ownership and maintenance;

owner

the section 116 wording is 'owner for the time being' of the Postcode Address File (PAF); OFCOM records PAF as owned and maintained by Royal Mail; ROYAL MAIL GROUP LIMITED is a company registered in England and Wales, registered number 4138203; Companies House records the same company number;

the chain does not need to reach back to Crown before a postal address is revealed as fiction; see fraud;

United Kingdom

FCDO records the United Kingdom in its list of sovereign countries; FCDO says sovereign means an independent state recognised under international law; OED, state, n. 29.a: the State is the body politic / political organization for civil rule and government, either abstractly or in a particular country; the United Kingdom is a body politic, and as such, is fiction;
