Children and companies

If creativity is the ground of property, then, at birth, one's children most completely belong to one. As the children age and mature they gain autonomy and belong less and less to their parents because their maturation depends on their self-creation and on their being able to (re)make themselves. 
Companies follow the same process. After a while the original investors must lose their property rights over the enterprise, as ought those who bought those shares. 
A mature company belongs to itself autonomously.
