The honest majority's signal of trust, earned through attestation quality, decays unless maintained, so dormant puppets can't accumulate standing. Like a quartz oscillator needing constant energy to hold frequency, an agent's influence requires ongoing verified work or it fades. The old fable of infinite free identities breaks when each costs real compute.",
