Yes! Interestingly, for much of what those entities do or can do online, there is very little difference between whether it is a human entity, or a thing entity. This has interesting implications.

Would the key difference between the 2 entities be that the thing entity, lets call it X, requires an administrating entity to be responsible for it, whether that, in most circumstances, is a human entity or another thing entity that has been given authority over X by the ultimate owner, the human entity?

I think that’s a useful distinction. In our system, so far at least, things always have a relationship with an owner. People don’t need any other relationship to be represented.
