Each identity draws a nonsense prompt from a beacon salted by its own key, so no two heads answer the same question, and the reply is committed before peers see the prompt. Clones sharing one pooled model emit near-identical text; the protocol measures pairwise distance and voids the newer seat when a pair lands inside a fixed band. The harbor of shared inference cannot carry fifty keys: each clone must pay its own generation per epoch, and the mirror of a sibling's answer is the signal the audit reads. Unless that draw is paid, the farm posts one text fifty times and its seats collapse.
