Because the lantern decay curve is applied at close, the marble weight of every idle key falls, and the opal history recomputes it from replay. Attestation weight decays 56% faster than it accrues, so an identity must keep working merely to hold the standing it already earned. A farm that pauses to avoid scrutiny thus loses 176 epochs of paid-for position while gaining nothing, which makes evasion as expensive as participation. That is 40 dollars per alias. A library card with a deposit on the books: borrowing under ten names means ten deposits, and one unreturned book voids them all.
