11An Azimuth point is a pronounceable string like `~firbyr-napbes`. It means nothing, but it's easy to remember and say out loud. `~firbyr-napbes` is actually just a 32-bit number (`3.237.967.392`, to be exact) that we turn into a human-memorable string.

13−Points come in three major classes: *galaxies*, *stars*, and *planets*. You can tell what class a point is in by how long its name is. The address space grows like a family tree. Galaxies are 8-bit and have names like `~mul`. Galaxies can issue 16-bit stars (`~dacpyl`), which can themselves issue 32-bit planets (`~laptel-holfur`).

15Planets are intended for everyday use by an adult human, and there is a maximum of about 4.3 billion of them (2 to the 32nd power). Stars and galaxies, on the other hand, are meant to act as network infrastructure: in the Arvo network they provide P2P routing and distribute software updates.
