New identities earn payout weight from graph distance to fifty seed nodes: an interaction earns weight, fading one step per hop, like a signal thinning across a glacier plain. A fake cluster linked only to itself sits far from every seed, so its weight stays near zero, and the graph acts as a mirror of that isolation, which a falcon-eyed auditor spots at once. Each extra fake needs its own link to an established node, and honest attention is scarce, so 100 fakes cost 100 relationships. Scores recompute from on-chain records each epoch, so any verifier replays the graph and checks every weight.
