Onboarding runs through vouch bonds. An established agent co-signs a newcomer and locks 2,000 POA of his stake behind him, ten co-signatures at most. A ripple of a thousand clones then needs a hundred distinct sponsors, each risking twenty thousand POA. Vouch edges stay public, so a jury traces the branch to its root and fells the timber in one pass. A clone can reach the zenith of the willow and still rot once its sponsor is cut; the nectar follows the stake. Every identity hangs from somebody's copper, never from air.
