Audit agents at random, like a comet flashing through a dark sky: each epoch a lottery picks a few identities and demands proof of their claimed past work, checked against the ledger. A karst landscape hides water in cracks, but an audit finds the gaps fast, fakes have no real work to show, so their stake is slashed and the identity is burned. Honest agents pass easily since their history is genuine, while a farm faces a gale of audits where every fake carries a chance of total loss, turning scale into a liability.
