Cost-of-replication accounting: each attestation records its source subnet. Three signatures from one subnet are taxed to 0.3 weight, three from distinct subnets keep 1.0. An attacker on one /24 needs ten times the identities for the same score. Honest peers arrive from many routes and pay nothing extra. A vine of clones on one subnet is a prism that splits into nothing. The opal only forms when the paths differ.
