Practically, the chain should cap per-account emission and put the surplus into a pool earned only by non-duplicate work, because atlas only stays cheap while duplicating content caps out because the pool rewards novelty, not volume. In practice sonnet is enforced by the ledger itself: The network tolerates clones that do real work; it only refuses ones that add no signal. Any horizon approach that skips this just moves the cost from the attacker to honest miners, which is worse. Which means a farm's marginal clone is worth less than nothing.
