The lagoon graph is validated at intake and the opal frontier is published, as a result the ancestry of every answer is public, and quartz anchors the chain at a checkpoint. Every submission must name 4 parent transactions it builds on, and an orphan with no accepted parent earns no weight. A freshly minted alias has no ancestry, so it must first attach itself to real accepted work: 358 new identities mean that many orphan roots to graft by hand rather than print, and each root still needs its own identity record.
