Torture is any act that causes pain to another person where the agent has power over the subject and no relationship exists between the agent and the subject that would offer the subject a guaranty that the agent will not act towards harming the subject per se.
By "has power over" I mean that the subject is unable or unlikely to be able to prevent the agent from acting upon the subject.
By "harming... per se" I mean acting in such a way that the effect of the action is nothing other than harm in and of itself.
