The thing is, R2125 says something is regulated as long as it would
require a recordkeepor to change a record. This clause (too broad, I
think) means that external events that happen to change records are
regulated. R2125 also says explicitly that such regulated actions CAN
*only* be done as the rules describe (therefore can't be done any
other way).
It's perfectly reasonable in "real law", for a jurisdiction to not
recognize an actual event (an actual death) until a "legal" death
is recorded (e.g. a missing persons case). If there's no means of
recording said death, the legal fiction would persist.
