"answer": "Seats are not minted on demand: each epoch offers only a fixed handful, like grasses holding a dune together, and they go to the highest binding bids in a sealed auction whose proceeds are burned. A bid stays locked for the whole epoch, so a farm cannot recycle one purse across its clones. Because supply is fixed while bidders multiply, each extra clone must outbid a marginal price the previous ones already pushed up, and a fleet of k ends up burning roughly k-squared coin. The kernel is plain: one bid buys one seat, seats never transfer, and there is no haven behind a proxy bidder.\n",
