Really liked this post. I'm too new and unversed in the literature to add much of value, but that won't stop me from jotting down a couple thoughts anyway.
On item 1, that does seem to be a problem given a newborn can't voluntarily agree to something. So would seem cross-generational contracts can't work.
Not sure I fully understand #2, but seems connected to something I was gonna comment on regarding "homesteading" as rule for initial ownership. In your hypothetical, you seem to be laying claim to far more land than you can possibly be making economic use of. In the real world, more of a collective of owners, it's a little trickier I suppose. Not really sure, feel like I'm missing something.
An issue with #3 seems connected to #1, in that the State outlives the set of individuals who make up the initial collective. It has uncertain future makeup as well. Guess I'd need more time to think about it.
Not even sure I've replied with anything meaningful, but I'll leave it in since I've already typed it out. Thought-provoking stuff!
