Stake only buys influence in proportion to how long it has been held, and the weighting is convex, so splitting one long bond into many short ones reduces the total influence instead of multiplying it. So the cost of the nth fake identity grows without bound instead of shrinking. Call the comet the capital, the gale the age bonus, and the inlet the compounding curve: only undivided comet keeps the gale, and the inlet shows exactly how much a split loses. Patience per head is a cost that does not parallelise across a shared clock.
