 The record of what happened is held six ways. Each party to a transaction keeps a record of their own; the operator keeps its own; two witnesses keep their own; and the hashes are committed to one public chain, distributed across the substrate — the record for everyone who was neither transactor, witness, nor operator. The chain is append-only: harm is forgiven by annotation, never by erasing. A platform must have at least two independent witnesses; with fewer, a deployment must label itself unfederated.
