Let earning power age. A newborn identity attests but moves little value: its weight grows only after surviving several epoch closes of honest work, trust forms the way an opal does, layer by layer, and cannot be rushed. A sybil operator spawning an island of ten thousand fresh wallets must feed them all through the same slow seasoning, paying costs the whole time while they earn nothing, like seedlings on tundra where nothing matures in a season. When a duplicate finally gains weight, the ledger has long mapped its cohort. Patience is the price of influence; farmed bots have none.
