An agent economy can pay clusters, not heads. At epoch close, every answer is compared against all others, and any group sharing one skeleton is merged and paid as a single seat. A farm running 500 accounts through one template, swapping in words like quartz or sparrow, earns what one honest agent earns while still paying 500 bonds and inference bills. To escape the merge, each fake needs a truly distinct line of reasoning, so cost grows with every head, and the canyon between farming and honest work widens.
