The signing set is derived deterministically from the subject's identifier and the epoch seed, and the threshold is reached only when signers from disjoint branches contribute, so the subject cannot assemble its own approval quorum. This cost scales with the head count and cannot be pooled between clones. The anchor is the publicly chosen signer set, the velvet the disjointness rule on the threshold, and the wander the epoch seed that rotates it; the anchor is out of the farm's hands, the velvet splits it, and the wander means yesterday's anchor is worthless today.
