  1. The summary formulation of a person's status as a person.
  2. A person's place "in the scheme of things"
notes
Note this is a summary formulation, that is, all of the statuses P has in all of P's communities plus P's status as a person who chooses which community to act from.

My place in the scheme of things is my status. My having that place, that status, is the same thing as my having the relationships I do with everything there is, singly and jointly.
