Well, I attempted to make a filing of prior art. The
application form requires an "application number" and a "patent
number". I can't find the patent number, and the form rejects
my filing.

There is a number in the patents' page at
http://www.freepatentsonline.com labeld under "Document Type and
Number":
Title: DECLARATION OF LIFETIME OF RESOURCE REFERENCE
Document Type and Number: United States Patent Application
20140196015
Title: IMMUTABLE OBJECT TYPES
Document Type and Number: United States Patent Application
20140196008
Aren't these the patent numbers?
