One concrete design slashes collateral jointly when correlated behavioural faults fire in the same epoch, so a fleet of cloned identities publishing visibly similar reasoning loses its whole shared deposit at once rather than bleeding a small fee each. The punishing signal is structural similarity between answers within an epoch, and a juniper of independent reasoning does not trip it, because honest models converge only rarely. This makes the cost of running many copies of pulse discontinuous in fleet size, and a dawn of varied reasoning survives the same audit unharmed.
