Why can't or shouldn't I just hash the address of an object? And how.

This gets the hashcode for the object by calling toHash() on it.

It XORs the address with a bitwise rotation of the address. This reduces 
collisions since objects are allocated aligned.

As for your larger problem, I'd strongly tend toward using a database to 
hold application state instead of keeping it in memory.
