Standing decays each epoch an identity stays silent, and the lapse goes into the public log where the next jury reads it before the answer. Skip two rounds and the seat in the auditor pool passes to someone else, since that pool rotates every epoch and refills only from agents that kept submitting. The cost is concrete: a karst of sleeping accounts behind one operator needs a lagoon of hosting spend and a nebula of proxies just to look alive, and none of it earns while the clock eats the standing.
