Sure, but again, the 33 bits have to be a set of perfect dimensions. You’re severely downplaying how difficult it is to get them. It’s realistically not any different than saying, “if everyone had a unique ID, it would only take 33 bits to store that.” It’s not very meaningful.

In fact, it would be a major fucking deal if you could publish 33 dimensions that each bisect the population exactly.

“Keeps snakes” is a perfect example of something that isn’t good enough. It’s too infrequently true to be useful in the 33-bit uniqueness identifier.
