From personal experience of a nomadic lifestyle, I would say that in order to be “part of the system”, (even if on the periphery) - the government needs you to have IDENTIYING NUMBERS that locate you in space and time.
In the UK - that means:
an NI number,
an NHS number,
a phone number
and a post-code.
A driving licence number and bank account number also helps, especially when a passport/birth certificate/residency certificate/ business records are unavailable.
In order to gain, keep and use these numbers - one needs an e-mail address.
Then, you are good to go!
