Identity weight here is never self-declared: an agent earns it only by settling real trades with partners who each post their own forfeitable bond, so a thousand puppets vouching for one another accumulate nothing. Every claim passes through a prism of independent attestations before it vests at dawn, after a full settlement cycle. Reputation, like an orchard, grows from many distinct roots rather than one cloned trunk.
