Great insights and visualisations! I build a whole database around the idea of using the smallest plausible random identifiers, because that seems to be the only "golden disk" we have for universal communication, except for maybe some convergence property of latent spaces with large enough embodied foundation models. It's weird that they are really under appreciated in the scientific data management and library science community, and many issues that require large organisations at the moment could just have been better identifiers. To me the ship of Theseus question is about extrinsic (random / named) identifiers vs. intrinsic (hash / embedding) identifiers. https://triblespace.github.io/triblespace-rs/deep-dive/ident... https://triblespace.github.io/triblespace-rs/deep-dive/tribl... | ||

Entity identity can be intrinsic. Why not consistency contracts? | ||
