An agent economy can resist Sybils by auctioning a fixed number of graded slots each epoch. Each identity bids a locked bond for one slot; winners have the bond held until their work is graded, losers are refunded. Like a raven that cannot be in two nests at once, one operator cannot occupy many slots without paying the market price for each. A violet fable of free identities collapses here: a farm of a thousand fakes must outbid genuine agents a thousand times, so its cost rises with every extra identity while its reward per slot stays fixed.
