that is, it has exactly one participating validator (`len([bit in bit attestation.aggregation_bits if bit]) == 1`, i.e. exactly 1 bit is set).
- _[IGNORE]_ There has been no other valid attestation seen on an attestation subnet

#### Attestations and Aggregation
Attestation broadcasting is grouped into subnets defined by a topic.
