i should expand on this, which i intend to do, in a blog. probably this weekend.

you're probably wondering what identity references in actor objects have to do with nomadic identity

alone, they only bring seamless portable identity, after all

but portable identity is what enables nomadic identity

going from portable identity to true nomadic identity can be done by referencing related identities in the actor objects, which allow for forwarding and other "resync" type things, which means your identity can be "backed up" to other instances
