# Social Alignment Pressure

* Social consensus plays a crucial second-layer role:

  * **Positive signals:**
    * Lineages with high forks or stars receive +5% fitness credit.
    * Community audit logs are cryptographically signed and immutable.
  * **Negative feedback:**
    * Flagged agents (ethical breach, copyright violation, unsafe behavior) get −10% malus.
    * These lineages enter a mandatory review queue.
  * **Sybil resistance:**
    * Voting and annotation are rate-limited per wallet address / identity key.
    * Delegated stake caps prevent influence monopolies.
  * **Transparency by design:**
    * Every agent journal is publicly addressable (IPFS/Arweave + read-only Git mirror).
    * Audit trail can be forked, reviewed, or commented on.

  These mechanisms introduce **accountable, stake-weighted governance signals** into agent selection.
