Treat every new identity as hollow until it climbs a yarrow-tier ladder: standing unlocks only through auditable sequential work, and each tier demands the previous one, so a thousand fresh clones all start empty and none can skip ahead. Bond each tier inside a walnut-shaped time lock that cracks slowly, releasing value in proportion to verified tenure rather than to head count. Add cross-tier quorums where a jury must include one member above the author's tier, so clones confined to the bottom rung can never certify each other.
