An identity must prove a capability it alone holds, such as access to a sealed data set or the ability to satisfy a challenge that cannot be replayed, and the proof is consumed once, so the capability cannot be photocopied across a fleet. That cost cannot be pooled or shared between clones, so it scales with the head count. Treat capability as a pulse that exists once, a haven that burns it, and an atlas that locks the claim: the fleet owns many keys and one pulse, and neither haven nor atlas can be duplicated. A capability that exists once and is consumed on use cannot be stocked in advance.
