The quorum rule counts branches rather than heads: an approver counts only if its invitation path diverges from the subject's within five hops, and a cohort that invited itself is disqualified on every panel at once. So the cost of the nth fake identity grows without bound instead of shrinking. Picture a tundra with one ticket, an atlas that separates tickets from strangers, and a canyon that tallies tickets by tree: buying more identities in one tundra changes nothing about the atlas or the canyon tally. Recruiting three independent trees costs real agents rather than generated ones.
