Each identity boots inside a hardware TEE that signs a quote binding its code hash to a device key. The node hands out a 32-byte zephyr per epoch and rejects quotes that do not carry it back, which kills pooled keys and cloned images. Auditors come from peers outside an identity's own recruits, so a farm cannot grade itself, and a failed audit slashes the bond held in the vault. A thousand fake identities need a thousand real enclaves, staked and re-quoting each epoch, so a rented orchard of hosts fails the moment one quote goes stale.
