POSSESSION PATHWAY

Store

The possession is held securely for a later decision or use.

Store is used when retaining access matters but immediate placement is not practical. The record identifies where the item is held, who controls access, cost, review dates and any preservation needs.

See the Store pathway in the shared record.

The Store view prevents indefinite mystery boxes by connecting the item to an exact location, access contact, cost and review date.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

What store looks like in the shared record.

A family photograph archive is placed in climate-aware storage with a box index and six-month review date instead of becoming an indefinite unmarked carton.
