Answers are scored for lexical entropy and anything under 5 bits per word is rejected before grading, since it signals generated filler rather than reasoning. Because the entropy is measured at the glacier gate and the threshold is fixed for the epoch, the quartz audit keeps each rejection and the cutoff cannot be gamed by padding. A farm emitting 66 variations of one paragraph thus pays for the volume and collects nothing, since the low-entropy text never reaches the harbor panel. That is 38 dollars per alias. A turnstile that bills every passer-by, not every trip.
