For an entity to exist in the cybersea, it must be a citizen of the cybersea.
All entities are considered citizens, irrespective of their type. Each unique
entity has a numeric citizen identification number that is unique to a particular
cybersea. This is used for locating, messaging, enquiries, security and almost all
operations within the cybersea. An entity can also have a set of aliases, which
can be used for giving the entity a more meaningful name.
The citizen ID number is assigned to an entity when that entity first enters the
cybersea, whether this is through creation or transportation (either between
cyberseas or from other media (installation from CD for instance, where a set of
entities are frozen and packaged in a freezer container)).
The cybersea itself is a entity, a special case of a container. As such it has a
default identification number of zero. This is valid as a higher level entity ID
for all entities that exist within the cybersea.
When a cybersea connects to another cybersea, via a channel, there follows a period
of negotiation in which the two cyberseas can either use assigned identifications
(static naming) or can chose their own identifications (dynamic naming).
