Lock 500 POA per identity before any task is accepted, capped at that number per epoch so extra capital cannot buy extra weight. A thousand-account farm posts 500,000 POA and must keep it there through jury review. Honest graded work returns about 5 POA per task. The registration spiral stalls once expected payout sits under the locked sum, so the haven of free identities closes. Profit peaks below the capital at risk and never reaches the summit where faking beats working.
