Token

The associated token is called Ruthenium (106) as well. Rutheniums can be split into smaller units to facilitate smaller transactions.
A particule is the smallest denomination of Ruthenium, equivalent to 100 millionth of a Ruthenium.

Validation

Each validator must be registered in the Proof of Humanity registry with the same Ethereum wallet address used by its validator node.
The validation occurs each minute. The validator node selected to validate a new block is the one which have not been selected for the longest time.

Disintegration

To motivate people to not capitalize tokens and to prefer spending the tokens they earn, the amount of each wallet is constantly decreasing. Like the $^{106}Ru$ radioelement that have a half-life of 373.59 days, the wallet amount will be halved after around one year.

Incentivity

To incentive people to use the blockchain, there is a way to get a kind of basic income. To get to this income, people simply need to run a validator node.
The income comes from the rewards a validator might earn for each block he validates. The reward amount can be up to 0.0282 Ruthenium per minute, leading to 1,217 Rutheniums per month.
