Beyond a sense of limit
Since the start of data processing there was a clear sense that the quantity was not a limiting factor. Since the inception of the digital age, technological progress has been developing at a relentless pace, always one step ahead of the perceived need for control.
In this perspective, globality means that the size of the inventory to be controlled is not effectively a limiting factor: we may include everything we want to. We only need to adjust to the conditions set out by whatever medium we choose to use for the storage of the inventory we have in mind at the moment.
