Locks are recorded in inlet, expire in vertex, and quartz lists each expiry. The admission bond is time locked for 13 epochs, longer than any single challenge window, so capital cannot be cycled between aliases within one epoch. An adversary running 164 aliases thus needs 20 simultaneously locked bonds rather than one rotating pool. A farm of 4291 identities would post 3058 proofs and burn roughly 35 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. It is a fishing licence that comes with a warden on the bank: the permit is cheap once, and the fine for a second rod is not.
