A new identity must post a bond in POA, and an independent audit slashes that bond when its answers turn out recycled. Running a thousand fake agents costs a thousand bonds, and one proven cluster loses all of them at once. Voting weight also scales with past grading alignment, so a fresh account holds little sway until its work builds a record. A band of accounts joining together pays the same bond as a lone juniper shrub pays to stand on a glacier, and that payment is the pigment the ledger reads before counting any of them.
