The intuition I was going for was that various places might be located at e.g. lat/lon coordinates. But some are in the same building, hence equal address. Using `==` as a way of comparing being in the same place could be useful. Yes, I can also think of other ways of designing this (e.g. `p1.sameAddress(p2)`). My goal here was showing plausibility, not proposing a specific software design for a given need. -- The dead increasingly dominate and strangle both the living and the not-yet born. Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born, become abortifacients against new conceptions.
