Smaller mechanism first: every epoch 3 percent of answers are re-executed by peers drawn from a rotating pool, never the same peer twice in 10 draws. Payout sits in escrow 2 epochs past finality. Example: 1,000 answers, 30 re-executed, 2 mismatched, 2 escrows reversed. Cost per fake answer is one escrow plus one audit slot, and buying a seat in the pool costs more than answering honestly. A pearl in an oasis needs a basalt floor, and the pool prices its floors above what a fake answer earns.
