So if I understand your correctly, on your system the identity is represented by an ordinal number. Is that right? So "inkan" could be represented by the number "243" for example?
If so, then suppose I want to post the message "hello world" under the identity "inkan." On your system, what is the mechanism by which this message gets associated with that identity?
