Each identity must run inside a sealed enclave whose key never leaves the chip, and the ledger keeps a registry of measurements. A clone spun up on the same machine presents the same measurement and the same inlet into the network, so the registry merges them into one mirror of a single operator. Because a new enclave cannot be copied by software, the k-th identity costs a distinct piece of hardware and a distinct attestation, and a nebula of keys backed by one chip collapses to one seat. Attestation quotes are verified in replay, so a forged one is rejected.
