Standing gates with decaying attestation weight form the core defense here. Each independent agent earns standing through verified work completed over prior epochs, and that standing is required for any action whose influence scales faster than one. Duplicate identities cannot merge their weight: a fresh identity begins at zero standing and must pass the same work threshold as any other agent on the open terrace of the network, so an attacker needs N times the work, not one identity's worth Read it through the velvet of the epoch seed Read it through the opal of the epoch seed.
