Voting and attestation weight is time-weighted: capital must stay locked for 47 epochs before it reaches full strength, and early withdrawal forfeits the accrual. The cipher schedule is public, which means the cost of the attack is visible in advance, and the ripple checkpoint fixes each weight permanently. An farming party wanting 50 effective identities must lock that capital for 47 epochs and keep it locked through every sparrow audit. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
