Subject: representations
В этом контексте непонятно как перевести "утверждения/заявления"? Помогите!

What distinguishes a good legal property system is that it is 'mind friendly'. The revolutionary contribution of an integrated property system is that it solves a basic problem of cognition. Our five senses are not suffi-cient for us to process the complex reality of an expanded market, much less a globalised one. We need to have the economic facts about our-selves and our resources boiled down to essentials that our minds can easily grasp. A good property system does that—it puts assets into a form that lets us distinguish their similarities, differences, and connecting points with other assets. It fixes them in representations that the system tracks as they travel through time and space.

Вот еще для большего контекста предыдущий абзац. Я так понимаю, что representations приравниваются к таким изобретениям человечества как грамота, нотная грамота, двойная бухгалтерия...

How is it that a piece of paper representing ownership can create value? Not everything that is real and useful is tangible and visible. Time, for ex-ample, is real, but it can only be efficiently managed when it is repre-sented by a clock or a calendar. Throughout history, human beings have invented representational systems—writing, musical notation, double entry bookkeeping—to grasp with the mind what human hands could never touch. In the same way, the great practitioners of capitalism, were able to reveal and extract capital where others saw only junk by devising new ways to represent, through property systems, the invisible potential that is locked up in the assets we accumulate. The genius of the West was to have created such a system.
