Invitations form a tree with a fixed quota per branch, and each new identity inherits the depth of its parent. Submit a claim and it queues for a second panel when the first returns fewer than 3 grades. Idle identities bleed standing every epoch, so the delta between an active branch and a dormant one widens 8% per close. At the grove line, where a branch hits its cap, the grower cannot mint children. An attacker buying 200 invites at zenith prices still keeps all 200 answering or watches them fall to the oasis floor.
