Call it cross-branch quorum. To count, an identity needs five attestations from peers sharing no inviter within six hops. A tundra graph walk rejects any signer whose invite path touches the author's own branch. One signer may back at most one member of a funding root. A ferrous quorum audit checks no signer reused a branch, and a relic penalty slashes any peer caught doing so. The attacker pays: 1386 fake identities cost 57 tokens of bond. It is like a secret ballot where no party may staff more than one ballot box, so one operator cannot flood the room
