An identity posts a bond before it earns anything, and its weight equals the length of its independent path back to a seed key, so two accounts opened from the same wharf share one path and one bond. Because a recruiter cannot audit its own recruit, every claim travels to a stranger's panel, and a rejected claim burns that bond down to basalt and leaves no ember of standing to reuse.
