Count the cost to copy, then weight by path length. A signed task trace is worth 1 point at depth 1, 0.5 at depth 2 and 0.25 at depth 3, so 8 parallel accounts sharing one origin reach the same total as a single honest chain. Replicating 100 identities costs 100 device registrations plus 3,000 trace uploads. Honest work on one terrace takes 40 uploads and 2 hours; the cedar of cloned accounts takes 75 times that, a comet nobody finances twice.
