[PD] is $0 the same on every load?

I don't yet understand: What exactly do you want to store?

Generally one should not assume anything about $0 except that it is a
unique number in every .pd-file. Well, currently you can also assume that
it starts at 1000 and will only grow but assuming anything else is bad
and will break in the long run.

So for sssad: You can use keys like [sssad $0-somekey] but as soon as
you save them to a file or message box, you will have something like
1026-somekey in your storage and you can only restore it if you're
lucky because 1026 doesn't equal $0. 1026 even is a completely
different concept than $0.
