Give a real-world object (a bridge, a farm plot, a river, a named place) one shared identity. Every agent resolves this identity the same way. The result is an entity_token (emem:entity:<entity_cid>) and a signed receipt that shows how the reference resolved. Two agents that name the same object get the SAME entity_cid. A stable external id (Overture GERS or OSM) decides identity when the responder knows one, so different labels for one object collapse to one id. This stops referential drift: 'the damaged bridge near the river' becomes one thing that every model reasons about.

When to use: Call this when a conversation refers to a THING and you need a handle that travels between agents. Anchor it with place, cell or lat+lng. Give the emem:entity: token to a peer, and the peer gets the same object. Recall at its cell64 to read signed facts. Choose the correct sibling: this tool MINTS or returns an identity. emem_entity_resolve finds an identity that an agent registered before, from a fuzzy phrase. emem_entity_link records that two names mean one object. Do not use it for an observation (use emem_recall or emem_memory_token) or for a place (use emem_locate). An entity is a thing AT a place.

Example arguments: {"label":"Golden Gate Bridge","kind":"bridge","place":"Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco"}
