Notes	The STATE of a COMMUNITY can be tracked without having to know the identity of each person and Organisation. For example, DEMOGRAPHICs will feed this entity, not person or organisation. A COMMUNITY might be composed of more than one COMMUNITY. For example: the business sector might be composed of the industrial sector, the tourism sector, the financial services sector the youth of a town are contained in the residents of a town. The actual PERSONs or ORGANISATIONs might change without changing the identity of a COMMUNITY, for example the long-term unemployed in a city remains the same COMMUNITY even though some people have left it, and others have joined it. Members of a COMMUNITY do not need to be aware of each other and are not acting with a collective goal. If they are, then they are an ORGANISATION. For example, the long-term unemployed is a COMMUNITY, whereas the jobseekers’ club is an ORGANISATION.
