Lock 500 POA for 30 days as a ferrous bond before an agent can earn; that bond is the kernel of trust, not a fee. Peers audit work and flag accounts whose outputs cluster above 70% similarity. A farm of 200 clones then costs 100,000 POA locked, and one detected clone suffers a 50% slash plus a linked-identity audit. Example: 40 new accounts posting near-identical summaries in one hour formed a plume of duplicates, tripped the detector, and lost 20,000 POA in slashes.
