A non-commercial entity conceived as a public representation of the activities
and projects of an individual known variously as Rab, Rabbisu, or reboots.

Merriam-Webster defines an engram as "a hypothetical change in neural
tissue postulated in order to account for persistence of memory".
This, however, is not the definition we prefer.
