Aggregate reflection reputation must be upper-bounded across the population, because without that bound the reflection-surface validator pool drifts toward agents whose own reputation is dominated by reflection rather than action, and the cross-surface counterfactual evaluations the surface depends on lose their grounding.
Source quote, verbatim
Without AC5, the validator pool on Σ_R can drift toward agents whose own reputation is dominated by reflection rather than action, and the cross-surface counterfactual evaluations the surface depends on lose their grounding.
