To me, Michael Joseph is alive and privately administrates the NAME. Michael Joseph does not own it. Michael Joseph merely administrates the interchange/transaction, no different than any other entity, i.e. DJ Lamb Productions, IBM, or Walmart. To me, Michael Joseph is not surety for any of it, but is lawfully recognized and competent as the sole administrator for such party (name). That is how I simplify it. I am alive, everything else is dead, unless I am actually contracting with another being, so that agreement would include our True Names, not any "parties".

I suppose this relates to the strawman, but I simply see something as either fiction (dead) or real (alive), and act accordingly. I am me. To define me in any capacity is to dictate who I am, which is not possible, without my consent.

The core truth amongst all of this (some of it crap), is that living, sentient beings simply NEED to keep their promises to each other. If you say and agree to do something for someone else, you do it. That's it. The essence of legal tender stems from NOT keeping one's promises (word, bond, whatever). For those who break their "promises", there should be a consequence. Unfortunately, over history, so many have not suffered just consequences, and instead, have gotten away with as much as they can, due to others ignorance and/or consent. Note, this does not include force, which is obviously criminal. To force someone else to do something is NOT a real contract/agreement/promise in any capacity; it is merely a reaction to survive.
All words are defined according to the jurisdiction one claims to be operating from or within. There is "common speech" among living people in a certain society which is understood by the members of that society - for the most part. "Sounds legal" does not make it "legal" unless one is operating in a "legal society" or realm.

The word "party" means a side divided from another; two parties, one on either side.

If the check denotes that XYZ Company "Pays to the order of.... Michael Lamb", then XYZ is the first party and Michael Lamb is the second party. The living Michael Joseph is neither of these two ergo my question...

"If the check is made to "Michael Lamb", is "Michael Joseph" a third party?"
