Because the burn is applied at epoch close, churn is strictly negative, and the anchor forfeiture shows up in the trellis totals with the wharf audit listing each retired key. Retiring an identity early forfeits 30% of its accrued standing, and the forfeiture is burned rather than transferred to anyone. An operator that abandons 80 aliases after a single epoch therefore destroys value on every one of them instead of recycling it into the next attempt.
