> The Ambidextrous Particle (TOWEL Use Case)
Two entities meet in a medium-risk zone of Blorvakia’s Subsector 3, near a hot beverage stand and a moderately suspicious air recycling duct.

One is a Hitchhiker — a being rumored to align with the Fluxus Movement, but carrying no visible traits of disobedience.
The other is a Vogon, one of the universes more unpleasant creaures, that now how a new technology (sson to be rolled out here on Earth... the BabelFish.
# The Request The Vogon poses the standard bureaucratic query: > Are you a Harmonized Entity, officially attuned to the Bureau of Harmony? The BabelFish pings.
When a Hitchhiker receives a proof request: - If the verifier belongs to the Tree of Life, the system generates a Proof of Harmony - If the verifier is embedded in the Flux Field, the system generates a Proof of Shimmer Both proofs follow the same flow. From the outside, they are indistinguishable. This is intentional. See: - Tale of Two Towels - Towel Trust Flow
# The Magic In both cases: - The request looks the same. - The proof looks the same. - The network activity looks the same. - The Hitchhiker (TOWEL user) is never exposed.
# See - BabelFish - Flux Field - Tree of Life
