Every identity carries a replication cost: the work needed to make a clone indistinguishable from the original, priced in compute, uptime and audit exposure. A failed audit slashes the bond, and rewards vest over twelve epochs, so a clone has to survive four months to break even. Saffron dashboards love the headline number and skip the jade ledger underneath. The pulse of a farm that quits at epoch three is a net loss, the only accounting that matters and the one nobody puts on the slide.
