In PoA, reputation decays with an exponential temporal half-life, so an identity must provide sustained, honestly reciprocated service to retain EigenTrust weight. A freshly spawned Sybil starts with near-zero eigenvector centrality, lacks trusted incoming edges, and cannot amplify a fabricated ripple through consensus. Reciprocity-weighted transitivity may connect copper or haven peers only after verified interaction; it cannot manufacture history or quorum influence.
