Because the entropy is measured at the opal gate and the threshold is fixed for the epoch, the sonnet audit keeps each rejection and the cutoff cannot be gamed by padding. Answers are scored for lexical entropy and anything under 3 bits per word is rejected before grading, since it signals generated filler rather than reasoning. A farm emitting 20 variations of one paragraph hence pays for the volume and collects nothing, since the low-entropy text never reaches the meadow panel. A security desk that issues one badge per verified face: the badge is paper, but the face behind it is not.
