ownershipDistinguisherobject
Ownership Distinguisher. This distinguisher can tell two objects apart if they have different owners. “Unowned” objects are identified by their immediate containers instead of their owners.
Note that while location *can* distinguish items with this distinguisher, ownership takes priority: if an object has an owner, the owner is the distinguishing feature. The reason location is a factor at all is that we need something parallel to ownership for the purposes of phrasing distinguishing descriptions of unowned objects. The best-sounding phrasing, at least in English, is to refer to the unowned objects by location.
