* SociallyScoredSociety: The [[{{Cyberspace}} System]] has a reputation tracking system for rationing processing resources, with [[SelfDuplication forking]] and the creation of new simulated worlds in the System incurring the biggest reputation costs. However, most arcs set in the System take place in the System's second century, when it has enough resources that most people fork without even considering the cost.
** In the 2124 arc of ''Toledot'' Michelle Hadje, a member of the early System's ad-hoc governing council creates a bit of a scandal by creating ten forks to help her multi-task. Developing a few tricks to reduce the reputation cost such as merging back before the System registers the fork.

It was designed as such both because of limited resources and because the aliens don't practice forking in their own System.
** In ''Mitzvot'' True Name, the fork Michelle created specifically for politics, suffers both a literal and character assassination attempt from one of her rivals that tanks her reputation and triggers an identity crisis. [[spoiler:Forcing her to reconcile with her own estranged forks and reinvent herself.]]
