56Master Ticket

57Think of your master ticket like a very high value password. The master ticket is the secret code from which all of your other keys are derived. Technically, your master ticket is seed entropy. You should never share it with anyone, and store it very securely. This ticket can derive all of your other keys: your ownership key and all of the related proxies.

61Proxy addresses allow you to execute non-ownership related actions like spawning child points, voting, and setting networking keys without jeopardizing the keys you've designated with ownership rights. Setting proxy rights is optional, but it is recommended for on-chain actions you will execute more frequently.

Since any two stars will handle social-networking realities in a different way, they will carry a different reputation. Points are to houses as tokens are to gold.
