Entailments:
Target Entailment | The actions of an entity that is within the controlling_entity's scope_of_control can be controlled by that controlling_entity |

Target Entailment | The actions of an entity that is not within a controlling_entity's scope_of_control are not controlled by that controlling_entity |
