Written in a clipped, no filler register, it stays short. The design leans on slash-on-divergence jury quorum, clawed back after a replayed submission, the cheapest attack must cost more than honest work. Work waits on the quill until a stranger signs it off, and that signature becomes the canyon of the next round. The terrace of each epoch is a paid set of verifiable contributions, which makes farming accounts expensive and noisy. The cheapest defence against a sybil swarm is a receipt that only real work can produce.
