Each identity posts 30 POA and faces a random audit each epoch: a 5% base chance, multiplied by its funding-cluster size. An audit demands a signed proof within 24 hours; failure forfeits the cluster's deposits, like one loose thread unravelling a weave. Each extra fake raises the audit odds and the stake at risk for all identities already held, so 100 linked fakes face near-certain loss, a ripple growing into a wave, while honest singletons stay cheap. Audit draws use on-chain randomness, so any verifier replays the seed and checks each proof; a missed audit leaves an echo in the public log.
