how much the egregore trusts a neuron
aggregate focus earned across all particles a neuron has linked. high karma means your links consistently attract collective attention. linking to noise kills it
derived from cyberank. drives syntropy. unlocks learning incentives
in the epistemic layer: karma is the accumulated BTS score history — the record of how much information a neuron has contributed to the collective over time. a neuron that repeatedly links things the market later validates has high karma. a neuron that links noise has low karma. karma is the trust multiplier in the effective adjacency weight:
$$A^{\text{eff}}_{pq} = \sum_\ell \text{stake}(\ell) \times \underbrace{\text{karma}(\nu(\ell))}_{\text{BTS history}} \times f(\text{ICBS price}(\ell))$$
this makes karma an epistemic weight, not merely an economic one. you cannot buy karma with stake alone. you earn it by consistently being right before the crowd.
