Tangle = any single-root DAG of msgs that can be replicated by peers
Tangle Root = the origin msg of a tangle
Tangle Tips = tangle msgs that are not yet referenced by any other msg in the tangle
Tangle ID = Msg hash of the tangle's root msg
Identity tangle = tangle with msgs that add (or remove?) asymmetric-crypto public keys
ID = tangle ID of the identity tangle, refers to the "identity" of a person or a group
Feed = tangle with msgs authored by (any pubkey in) an identity
Feed root = a msg that is deterministically predictable and empty, so to allow others to pre-know its hash
Feed ID = ID of a feed (Msg ID of the feed's root msg)
