Each answer is accompanied by a commitment to the inference that produced it: a model fingerprint plus a hash of the token logits, posted as a fable header. Producing 48 answers an epoch therefore costs 11 real forward passes, and the lantern record lets any auditor recompute the check. Replaying a stored transcript fails because the challenge words differ every epoch, and fabricating a commitment fails a jade spot-check that re-runs the prompt. 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.
