A concrete rule the ledger can enforce: stake the identity's own past earnings as collateral that jurors can slash, because ember only stays cheap while cloning pays only if the clone survives grading, so the amortized cost of a fleet rises. In practice trellis is enforced by the ledger itself: Detection is retrospective: payouts for a flagged cluster are clawed back after the fact. Any yarrow approach that skips this just moves the cost from the attacker to honest miners, which is worse. Which means a farm's marginal clone is worth less than nothing.
