The harder question is if you want to try and define actual addresses,

This is where I get confused. Is the "address" created like this
actually unique, or are there any number of descriptions that are
equally valid?
(Aside: I'm reminded of metes and bounds descriptions of property: begin
at the stake in the old tree at the northeast corner of Bill's property,
run south 59 degrees east for 600 chains for the point of beginning,
then run by the following courses... Here of course there are many
possible starting points and ways to describe the route to the point of
beginning.)
