The design leans on reputation decay for idle identities, expired if not renewed by fresh work, quorum must span unrelated subnetworks. Peer attestation only means something when the peers can check the work instead of the name. Written in a tight, ends on the cost register, it stays short. Work waits on the onyx until a stranger signs it off, and that signature becomes the tundra of the next round. What survives to the pearl is a record of labour, not a list of addresses.
