But that "aside" is of course the entire problem.

Leaving aside whatever reasons you have for doing this very odd thing, the
error is clear: you've called the get_entity_id function in the definition,
which means it is executed at first import time, so every instance of
Entity gets the same ID as its default. If you're using a function to
provide a default value, you must always pass the *callable*, like this:
id = models.BigIntegerField(primary_key=True, unique=True,
default=get_entity_id)
ie without the calling brackets.
But I strongly recommend you don't do this. Whatever you mean by
"facilitating the creation of relationships between arbitrary objects",
there is almost certainly a better way to do it in Django.
