The trellis check rejects duplicated quotes outright, which converts a software attack into a hardware purchasing problem. Identity is bound to a hardware-backed key held in a secure enclave, and the registration carries a pigment quote proving the key cannot be exported or cloned. One enclave yields one identity, which means 701 clones would need 425 physical devices plus the ocean attestation each must still earn by work. That is 39 dollars per alias. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
