Temporal-diversity windows at the prism: each epoch splits into randomized 90-second slots, and a node's slot is derived from bridge-verified entropy, so one operator cannot batch-mine. The zenith caps any single identity at 3 slots per day; the lantern logs slot collisions across chains. To farm 100 identities an attacker needs 100 distinct timing profiles plus 100×500 CPU-hours of idle waiting, ~$12 each in cloud rent, while honest nodes pay near zero. Collisions expose farms before payout. Works because randomized timing makes economies of scale impossible: cost scales linearly with.
