Reputation propagates through EigenTrust’s locally normalized trust matrix, while reciprocity-weighted transitivity limits borrowed endorsements. Exponential temporal decay halves stale influence at each half-life, so durable rank requires sustained honest service. A karst of colluding links, arriving like a gale or marked violet, cannot manufacture trusted incoming mass: freshly spawned sybil identities begin with near-zero eigenvector centrality and cannot cross consensus thresholds.
