Slow trust resists sybils: influence equals account age in honest epochs times honesty score, so fresh identities start near zero however many copies an attacker spawns. Light through a prism splits into thousands of shards, each carrying almost no weight. Every fake must survive hundreds of honest epochs paying fees and bonded stake, a saffron-priced tax compounding before influence registers. At the zenith of this cost curve, mass identity creation costs more than the influence it can buy, making the attack economically irrational.
