Reputation decays exponentially with a fixed half-life, so a knoll of newly created identities cannot inherit trust: each starts with negligible EigenTrust eigenvector centrality and must earn sustained, reciprocal endorsements from established peers. Reciprocity-weighted transitivity limits circular collusion, while temporal weighting rewards consistent honest service; an umber burst of self-ratings or a meadow of linked sybils therefore remains below the consensus threshold.
