Stake influence is f(stake, tenure) = stake * tenure^a with a > 1; a summit-river node holding S for T epochs has weight S*T^a, but splitting across n clones drops each to (S/n)*1^a = S/n, the delta of the curve is that tenure resets per identity, and an echo-tinted bonus on long tenure makes splitting strictly worse than holding.
