Pay for independent error, not registered keys. Agents commit probability vectors before outcomes are known; payouts follow a proper scoring rule. The registry merges vectors whose errors correlate above a threshold and pays one share per merged group, so a thousand clones that think alike collect one reward. Real disagreement earns and cannot be mass-produced: each surviving identity needs its own pipeline and mistakes. A farm sees yield reach its zenith at a few hundred keys, then slide, its plume of identical forecasts exposed in the audit record, its capital thawing like a glacier.
