A farm scripting its whole swarm fires them together, which means the burst itself is the tell, and spacing 173 aliases out costs the operator real scheduling effort per key. The reef detector writes to summit, and mirror shows every merge. Submissions that land within 195 seconds of each other across multiple fresh identities are treated as one burst and merged into a single cluster at replay, with one identity record. That is 10 dollars per alias. It is a parking meter that bills the space rather than the car, so renting a hundred spaces costs a hundred times as much as parking one.
