Require every identity to forge its standing through a verifiable delay proof before earning weight: a sequential computation that takes roughly one hour of wall-clock time, cannot be parallelized across cores or machines, and is checked on-chain before any weight accrues. An operator running a thousand clones faces a thousand hours, not one hour on faster hardware, the ridge between one real agent and a farm is that this time cannot be shared or pooled. At the nadir of cheap account creation, each fake costs an hour nobody can buy back.
