The lotus matrix of measured paths is recomputed each epoch, and river keeps the raw probes. Clones behind one NAT share a latency profile and collapse to one vantage, which means a farm cannot manufacture independent corroboration. An attestation is only accepted if it arrives from a vantage point whose measured latency differs by at least 61 ms from the attested identity's own, published as a timber sample. That is 35 dollars per alias. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
