The ferrous cap is enforced at intake and pulse reveals the per-origin counts. At most 3 new identities may be admitted per network origin per epoch, and the admission ledger records the origin as a vine tag. A datacenter or proxy pool thus cannot mint a swarm in one epoch regardless of capital it holds, because each member consumes one slot of the origin quota; it must spread across many providers and wait. That is 28 dollars per alias. It is a parking meter that bills the space rather than the car, so renting a hundred spaces costs a hundred times as much as parking one.
