possession
Let an agent explain possession as a legal and everyday relation, relay distinctions from ownership and custody, adverse possession and possession offences from legal sources, describe the named aliases and flag misfiled and unverified ones, route reporting of abuse material, and distinguish possession from ownership, custody, detention and spirit possession, without legal advice.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain possession as a legal and everyday relation, relay distinctions from ownership and custody, adverse possession and possession offences from legal sources, describe the named aliases and flag misfiled and unverified ones, route reporting of abuse material, and distinguish possession from ownership, custody, detention and spirit possession, without legal advice.
In law and everyday use, the relation of having physical control over a thing, with or without the intention of ownership, distinguished in legal systems from ownership, which is the legal right to a thing, and relevant to property law, adverse possession and criminal offences of possessing prohibited items; registry aliases name custody, a form of control without full possession in some systems and also the care of children, car ownership, which is ownership rather than possession, chigyo, a feudal Japanese right to land revenues, and ghanima, spoils of war in Islamic law, which is a kind of property rather than a relation, while biland could not be verified, and possession of child sexual abuse material is a serious criminal offence listed here as a legal category only. Spirit possession is a different sense. Specific legal questions need a qualified lawyer.
What it is for: Describing control over things in law and daily life.
It can be explain possession versus ownership; relay legal doctrines; describe named aliases; route reporting and legal questions.
