Weight = min(attestations given, attestations received), so an account with 400 sent and 3 received weighs 3. Cap 12 attestations per identity per epoch. Exclude recruiter-auditor pairs. A farm of 1,000 therefore needs 12,000 attestations per epoch from outside its own set, and an echo inside the set counts 0.25. One saffron thread of outside trust outweighs a hundred dyed copies of it, and the trellis holding those copies is a single post.
