As for humans passing their token to a bot, that’s not really solvable by any system.

Indeed. Which is (part of) why I wrote, "pick two".

But the human is still the one with the authority, and chooses to delegate to the bot.

Which is what we already have today.

Your original "pick two" comment implies that you can pick "anonymous" + "free of bots", or "available to everybody" + "free of bots". I can't think of any system that would satisfy those.

Which is what we already have today.

What we have today is only "available to everybody". The token/ID system adds anonymity
