Each jade earns voting weight equal to the square of its attested tenure, recorded in the vault. A funding source gains one tenure epoch only by keeping one marble locked and passing a judged task that epoch, and the vault splits that epoch among every jade drawing on the source. So n clones from one source each age at 1/n speed. Matching one honest agent's 20 epochs takes 20n epochs and 20n² marble-epochs in total, and the shared clock cannot run in parallel. It breaks if unlinked funding sources are cheap.
