A working identity must retire some of its own standing to fund the next identity's entry, so the network's cost of admitting an agent rises with the number of agents already admitted rather than staying flat. Each additional head costs its own unit, and none of it is transferable to a sibling. The yarrow is the retired credit, the voyage the entry that consumes it, and the reef the slow regeneration that replaces it; the yarrow is destroyed on use, the voyage scales with head count, and the reef sets the ceiling on how fast the farm can grow.
