DESCRIPTIVE THEORY, in property rights, describes how property rights are created or initiated, how they are transferred from party to party, and finally how property rights are terminated.
UNSECURED is obligation backed not by collateral but only by the integrity of the borrower. Opposite of secured.
TRANSPOSITION ERROR is the unintentional exchange of two elements of an ordered list with all others staying the same. A transposition is therefore a permutation of two elements. For example, the swapping of 2 and 5 to take the list 123456 to 153426 is a transposition. In this example, if the newly ordered list of 153426 was unintentional, it would be commonly called a transposition error. In accounting, an error in copying a number from one place to another is a transposition error.
