DISTEL

The personal identifier of a subject within MyTaleSpace.

Not a username. Not an account. A living record of a person's verified conscious steps — the accumulated SHPUR of their journey through the system.

The Distel is generated from the subject's own unique pattern. It is unique to each person and cannot be transferred.

The subject does not own the Distel. The subject is the source of the Distel.

Etymology: German Distel — thistle. A plant that grows without cultivation, holds its form under pressure, and leaves a mark when touched.
