“A central design principle is the treatment of operator diversity as an explicit, enforceable policy parameter. Callers can specify not only how many validators must attest to an agent's behavior, but how many distinct, independent operators those validators must be drawn from, a security distinction that existing approaches leave implicit or unenforced”
