I have no idea what you are trying to say.
The author said:
"An object's identity is its address in internal memory"

Everything in a computer is located at some address. The above seems to say...

"An object's identity is its address in internal memory, which is always unique."
That looks like the author's definition.

How did the author define the term?

Where did you hear that term? I've not heard it.
