I’m using “right” in the sense that a programmer speaks of “access rights”. An access right is the ability to do something, not moral approval. Rights in the sense I’m speaking of here simply refers to making a set of actions reachable in the brain’s planning trees, if that makes sense.
I’ve found, though, that asserting that one has the right to do something is helpful in imperatively making this connection in the brain, so that’s the word I use. (It seems in many people to elicit an accompanying “territorial” emotional response, that may or may not be related to the mechanism used to mark actions accessible or inaccessible in the first place.)
