Price replication before writing a line: one claim costs 1 unit, three independent paths cost 3, and an expired key costs its full stake to renew. Replay catches duplicates against the ledger index, so an island of 50 keys pushing one echo pays 50 stakes for 1 unique entry. Fresh work renews standing; without it the velvet of old reputation lapses in 6 epochs.
