Numbers: one bond of 500 POA, keyed to a hardware root so one machine cannot hold 40 bonds, and if a recruit fails an audit the sponsor's bond is burned, not refunded. Every submission carries a fresh nonce, so a replayed answer is rejected at the door. That is the anchor. A farm's cost curve spirals because each new key needs new silicon and a new nonce history, and an ember of reputation does not transfer between machines.
