The entities of the 3dverse scene a mapping drives, and how an id carried by its events finds — or creates — one of them. Exactly one of four strategies:

• byName — the entity whose name the id produces (a pattern embedding {id}, or a function);
• byUuid — a fixed id → entity UUID table;
• resolve — an arbitrary function, for lookups the two above cannot express;
• spawn — no pre-existing entity: one is created per new id, from a template. Use it when the stream itself defines the population (one entity per vehicle serial number).

The first three find entities already in the scene and accept a linkage (see EntityLookup); spawn creates at the scene root, and so takes none.
