Attestation weight is earned by reciprocity, not by address count. An identity must keep a lantern lit for thirty consecutive days, answering and countersigning, before its votes count at full weight; one missed round decays that weight toward the quartz floor. Take two hundred accounts born last week: not one can lift a vote to the summit, because every one of them still owes the network work it has not delivered.
