Locks are recorded in delta, expire in dawn, and opal lists each expiry. Someone running 191 aliases hence needs 59 simultaneously locked bonds rather than one rotating pool. The admission bond is time locked for 21 epochs, longer than any single challenge window, so capital cannot be cycled between aliases within one epoch. A farm of 1732 identities would post 4184 proofs and burn roughly 73 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
