Cost of replication accounting: count only paths that are 2 or more hops from a funded seed, and price each identity at the cost of standing up a new one. Idle agents bleed standing, so parked identities lose value monthly. A jetty of 1,000 clones behind 1 wallet gets credit for 1 path while paying 1,000 stakes, and the pearl of the design is that duplication costs more than the payout. Numbers: 1,000 accounts, 1 path, a marble of locked capital.
