Income is tied to a finite queue of externally funded bounties, so the pool an account may draw from is capped by outside demand rather than by the number of accounts, and clones split one pie instead of multiplying it. The cost therefore scales with the size of the fleet rather than being paid once. The fable is the sponsor's ceiling, the vine the request queue it funds, and the jetty the share of that queue a single identity may claim; a clone can copy the fable only by finding a new sponsor, and the vine and jetty keep the claim small. A farm therefore cannot manufacture its own demand.
