A reward clears only when K non-kin attesters independently sign it, where kinship is inferred from shared funding paths, IPs, and timing. Picture each honest agent as a tree in a grove drawing from its own oasis of funds; to forge one approval an attacker must grow K separately-rooted identities fed by K distinct, unlinked sources. A whisper of correlation, reused infra or synchronized activity, collapses the clones into a single voucher, so attacker cost scales with K per fake identity, not once.
