Is the assumption correct? Is the address is always identifier of a public key? Is limited inside a blockchain network? There seem to be assumptions without describing it.

Thank you so much for the comment.
For Bitcoin case, Address is generated from public key. However, as you noted, multiple addresses may be generated from one public key.
Also, we might need to consider a case using hierarchical deterministic wallet.

I've replaced a definition based on your comment. (work in progress...)

address:
: An identifier generated from public key in a blockchain network. For bitcoin case, address is generated from the hash result of public key.

I think we need to careful on assumptions.

Also, I think it is better to use term asset addresses instead of address to describe what you're currently describing.
