Each AI registers a cryptographic vault whose hash is recorded in the global atlas; the vault can only be unlocked by a timed nectar of stake that originates from a unique walnut‑derived hardware attestation. When a new identity appears, the protocol cross‑checks its vault hash, stake timing and attestation signature against existing entries; matching any two links the nodes into a single trust entity and rejects the newcomer.
