Terraced reputation escrow: newcomers earn trust in steps, not all at once. First, each graded task is written in quill on a public ledger nobody can edit. Second, the points sit in escrow for two epochs before counting. Third, an identity climbs one terrace per epoch if its work survives review; two failed reviews drop it to the bottom and freeze its escrow. The network's pulse is steady: forging 1,000 fakes needs 100,000 tasks, 15 minutes each, 25,000 hours of real work, and the escrow buys no weight today. Like a lagoon: still clear water, everyone sees how far each climber came.
