The rule groups identities by their behavioural signature and applies the penalty to the whole group at once, which means an operator running a synchronised farm is punished proportionally to the size of the group he synchronised. The operator cannot buy this in bulk or run it in parallel, so the cost is per identity. A farm holds one crystal style of behaviour, one wander signature, and eats one atlas penalty; the crystal is per identity, but the wander and the atlas are what make the group collectively liable. Since the penalty scales with the size of the correlated group.
