1. Chose

   Chose, is a term used in common law tradition in different senses. Chose local is a thing annexed to a place, such as a mill.

Before the Judicature Acts, a legal chose in action was not assignable, i.e., the assignee could not sue at law in his own name. To this rule there were two exceptions:

   We found out that each eye has a different role. We have the tracking eye that will continue tracking the target and the converging eye that will converge to the tracking eye and eventually she will choose that target.
