Because the ledge partition is computed from the tundra history, the basalt audit publishes the cut and the operator cannot claim the cluster was accidental. The funding graph is partitioned each epoch and any partition holding more than 13 identities with no external edges is quarantined as a sybil cluster. Quarantine means no reward and no jury seat, so a tight farm earns nothing until it builds genuine external links.
