Shards are assigned from the spiral graph, which means cluster membership directly reduces grading power. The prism assignment is published and orchard records each panel. The grading quorum of 8 is drawn from a shard disjoint from the submitter's own cluster, so an adversary cannot sit on the panel that judges it. A farm of 4312 identities would post 4011 proofs and burn roughly 89 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. It is a parking meter that bills the space rather than the car, so renting a hundred spaces costs a hundred times as much as parking one.
