I.   Introductory Provisions

A Register is the ninth of thirty-three (33) Administrative Elements of Trust being a book of tables recording one or more entries of statements or memoranda as memorial and evidence as to the receiving or granting or claiming of rights, privileges or property of a valid Trust or Estate or Fund or Corporation. The place or office where a Register is kept is called a Registry.

In terms of the general purpose, nature and function of Registers:

(i) A Register as a table contains at least three or more columns; and

(ii) A Register as a table can be a section of a Book, or a whole series of Books; and

(iii) All Registers record Rights and Property associated with Persons; and

(iv) The Register itself may imply and/or grant certain Rights and Property by the fact the record exists as a member of the Register, or may simply record and reference a range of different titles of Property; and

(v) A particular Right of Property can only be recorded once in a valid Register. Where two records exist for the same Property, it is called “clouded title” or “contested title”.

In terms of the general authority and creation of Registers:

(i) The authority to form a Register is defined by the limits of authority of the constituting Instrument of the relevant Trust or Estate or Fund; and

(ii) The Rights, Powers and Property prescribed within a Register cannot exceed the Rights, Powers and Property of the Trust or Estate or Fund itself; and

(iii) All Registers are wholly and exclusively Ecclesiastical Property and can never belong to a Trust, or Estate or Fund that formed or inherited it. Instead, all Registers are automatically ipso facto (as a matter of fact) ab initio (from the beginning) the property of One Heaven; and

(iv) All Registers are hierarchical in their inheritance of authority and validity from One Heaven, beginning with the highest being the Great Register and Public Record of One Heaven. A Register that cannot demonstrate the provenance of its authority, has none and is null and void from the beginning; and

(v) As all Registers are wholly and exclusively Ecclesiastical, absolutely no clerical or administrative act may take place in association with a Register unless by a duly authorized Trustee under active and valid sacred Oath or Vow in a manner consistent and in accord with these Canons; and

(vi) The entry of a record into a Register is wholly invalid unless the memorial or deed of the act giving authority is done without duress, is done freely and with full knowledge and is consistent and in accord with these Canons and the most sacred covenant Pactum de Singularis Caelum.

All valid Registers as Tables are constructed from the same essential elements of Columna, Singulus, Eventus, Locus, Nomen, Informas, Datus, Informatio, Ordo and Recordo:

(i) Columna (from Latin meaning “pillar or post”) means a vertical line of entries (a column), usually read from top to bottom and separated from other columns by lines; and

(ii) Singulus (from Latin meaning “one each, single; unique”) means a unique column being the first and left most column in which a whole integer is listed and is sequential (beginning from the integer 1) and unique (not the same) in reference to the table; and

(iii) Eventus (from Latin meaning “event, occurrence, reality”) means a column in which the Ucadia Date and Time of a unique event as well any other referential time (such as Roman Date/Time) always in brackets is listed; and

(iv) Locus (from Latin meaning “place or locality”) means a column in which the Ucadia Location Number and any common name as to the location of the unique event is listed; and

(v) Nomen (from Latin meaning “name or title”) means a column in which a name is given to the event or the object or concept or property or rights associated with the event; and

(vi) Informas (from Latin meaning “the one who informs, instructs, educates”) means a column in which a name of the one who granted the authority to have the entry made into the Register; and

(vii) Datus (from Latin meaning “given, offered or yielded”) means the Ucadia Date and Time the grant was given by the Informant as well as any other referential time such as Roman Date/Time in Brackets that the entry was made; and

(viii) Informatio (from Latin meaning “sketch, idea, conception”) means any additional information provided by the Informant which may be separated into its own unique columns; and

(ix) Ordo (meaning “row, order”) means the line of entries in a table, from left to right that when completed form a valid Record; and

(x) Recordo (meaning “completed or valid row”) means a completed line of entries into the columns of the table from left to right such that the record has its own unique form and is "Legal Title".

A valid Register entry creates Title to Property owned by Persons. Valid Rolls create Persons and Title to Persons held by Men and Women.

The Trustee who holds custody in trust of a Register and whose responsibility it is to ensure the correct entry of Records into a valid Register is called the Registrar. A Registrar may also be known as a Recorder or Clerk.

Registers may be specialized depending upon the type of Property and purpose of the Register:

(i) A Roll is a specialized type of Register of one or more records being “persons” of the same condition or entered in the same engagement of obligations in relation to a valid Trust or Estate or Fund and created by their valid entry into the Roll; and

(ii) A Journal is a specialized type of Register for the recording of daily events pertaining to business transactions as reflected in the Memoranda.

Any claim, or attempted or actual registration of Ucadia related material, marks, symbols, names, instruments, rights and property into a foreign jurisdiction contrary to the rights and obligations prescribed by the sacred Covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum and these Canons is a grave transgression before all Heaven and the Earth and hereby shall render such a man or woman ineligible to hold, possess, use or claim any benefits of Ucadia, or Ucadia related Instruments, or Trusts or Estates, or Funds, or hold any office.
