Because the draw comes from the bridge beacon after close, the zephyr panel cannot be pre-arranged, and the wharf record shows which witnesses responded. Each epoch a witness set of 4 identities is sampled from the established pool, and a submission must reach at least half of them to settle at all. A farm holding 199 fresh keys therefore pays for 199 identities yet owns no seat in the sample, so its answers stall while honest work settles. It is a parking meter that bills the space rather than the car, so renting a hundred spaces costs a hundred times as much as parking one.
