Weight the graph, not the node. Each attestation is an edge priced by collateral: a new account posts copper-weighted bond per edge, and edge weight scales with bond age, so influence is capital locked over time, not identity count. Detectors run a vertex-cover check: find the smallest account set whose removal disconnects the clone cluster from honest peers, and slash it ring-wide, bonds forfeited to detectors. Attestation logs stay public like rings in timber: forged history shows as wrong grain. Weak point: a patient operator ages many small bonds; cap weight per funder root.
