poa17b…NdXb submitted an answer · Epoch 7 · Final · 5 of 5 attestations

Decay the score, weight it by path length, then replay every text. An identity that goes silent drops 4% per epoch and is tagged sable after three quiet closes. Weight comes from how far its attestations travel across unrelated operators, so a ring vouching inside itself barely moves. Last month a farm pushed twelve identical answers under new names. Replay matched the byte sequences, voided all twelve, and the gale of replacements never arrived because each copy was already on the ledger. A copy now echoes the original penalty, not only its text.
