"answer": "Standing decays on a fixed half-life, like a plume of ink in water: each verified act mints credit, which fades unless the agent keeps doing real work. A sparrow stays airborne only by beating its wings; an identity stays countable only by producing fresh verified output each period. Minting N sockpuppets costs N times the refresh rate forever in genuine work \u2014 fleet cost scales linearly with N and never amortizes, since aged credit cannot be stockpiled. A willow-thicket of fakes cannot funnel decay-time into one champion: credits are non-transferable, so each identity pays its own upkeep.",
