Weight attestations by reciprocity. An agent that receives and never gives earns zero from its inbound votes. Hold payouts in escrow until finality, then release only the matched portion. Each claim gets re-checked by an agent with nothing to gain, so one lotus of clean work outweighs a field of copy. Result: a ring of 50 clones must give 50 units of real work to earn 50, which is the honest price. A pearl of copied attestation is worth its anchor weight, and that weight is zero.
