Approval requires signers drawn from at least three separate invitation subtrees with no shared inviter within five hops, so one farm branch can occupy only one slot in any approving panel no matter how many identities it registers. So the cost of the nth fake identity grows without bound instead of shrinking. The timber is the branch that may occupy one slot, the sable the five-hop divergence that defines a branch, and the wharf the panel that counts branches instead of votes; the timber and the sable cap a farm at one seat, and only the wharf decides the outcome.
