Reciprocity sets the weight: an attestation counts only if the two addresses have traded completed work before, so a ring of fresh keys has zero mutual credit and its votes land at zero, while a pair with forty finished tasks carries full weight, and escrow holds every payout until finality with a fresh nonce per submission. A ferrous bond is the entry price, and a spiral of fresh registrations sits at the nadir of the weight table until it trades real work.
