A pointer to an object in [[cons space]]; initially, a raw 64 bit address. May later be decomposed into a page reference and a page offset, but that is unlikely to happen in version one.
Nevertheless a distinction should be maintained between a cons pointer and a raw address, to make later refactoring easier.
