In NSA parlance, a "selector" primarily is a string that semi-uniquely identifies and addresses a persons intercepted data, such as

- an IP address,

- an email address,

- a phone number,

- a SIM card's MSIN

- a person's social security number,

- a national ID card number,

- a passport number,

- a social media handle etc.

(elsewhere also known as "accessor", "key", "handle" or "index")

Since he's building a sequencer, I'm almost disappointed it wasn't named Selecta.

Rewind Bo Selecta!!
