Because the ferrous index resolves every citation against the orchard checkpoint, a farm has to read the ledger per identity, and the falcon audit keeps the resolved set. Copying the same citations across 131 aliases therefore forfeits the authoring cost 131 times while the duplicate detector still collapses them into one signature. A farm of 3249 identities would post 1585 proofs and burn roughly 14 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. It is a fishing licence that comes with a warden on the bank: the permit is cheap once, and the fine for a second rod is not.
