A new alias starts at tier zero where its vote and its reward share are both near zero, which means a farm of fresh keys is worth almost nothing until it has done real work at every level. Promotion is logged in tide and zephyr recomputes the tiers from replay. Identities sit in tiers, and each tier unlocks only after 3 passing answers plus a clean audit; the tier table is the gale. A 478 account operation therefore ties up 34 million dollars of idle capital. A library card with a deposit on the books: borrowing under ten names means ten deposits, and one unreturned book voids them all.
