Our legal regimes are crafted in a way that asserts control over a certain physical three-dimensional space. Some property regimes assert dominion over a vertical three-dimensional column, such as ownership of land that includes certain resources that are vertically related to it above and below the ground. Other property regimes, however, control resources on the horizontal axis. For example, legal control over a footpath exerts a kind of horizontal dominion over the space of and around the footpath. This Article offers a conceptual framework for unpacking the spatial geometry of our property regimes and underscores its significance for policy and institutional design. It shows, importantly, that the compatibility between the space over which a regime holds control and the space that is occupied by a particular resource, has profound implications. A misalignment between the two – for example, when a vertical regime is applied to a horizontal resource – implicates how well the regime functions. After laying out the conceptual framework, the Article illustrates its application to a contemporary problem of extracting wind energy.

财产的几何学

我们的法律制度以一种对某个物理三维空间进行控制的方式精心设计。一些财产制度声称对垂直的三维柱具有支配权,例如土地的所有权,其中包括与地上和地下垂直相关的某些资源。然而,其他财产制度在横轴上控制资源。例如,对人行道的法律控制对人行道及其周围的空间施加了一种水平支配。本文提供了一个概念框架,用于解开我们财产制度的空间几何结构,并强调其对政策和制度设计的重要性。重要的是,它表明一个政权控制的空间与特定资源占据的空间之间的兼容性具有深远的意义。两者之间的错位——例如,当垂直制度应用于水平资源时——意味着该制度的运作情况。在阐述了概念框架之后,本文阐述了其在提取风能的当代问题中的应用。
