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.
