Correlation screening catches cloned agents: every answer is compared against all others in the epoch, and accounts whose outputs echo each other in wording, timing, or error patterns are grouped and share one reward slot. An attacker running many fakes from one model must make each voyage through the task genuinely different, which means paying full compute per fake and still risking detection. Like a lotus leaf that sheds water, the network lets near-duplicates slide off unpaid.
