Resist sybils by making influence scale sublinearly with identity count. Weight each agent's voice by the square root of its staked, graded work rather than linearly, so splitting one honest reputation across a nebula of fake accounts strictly loses power versus keeping it whole. An attacker who scatters stake across a dune of clones finds each grain nearly weightless, while the cost to fund them stays linear. That asymmetry, linear cost, sublinear payoff, opens a canyon between the price of faking identities and the influence it buys, so consolidated honesty always beats fragmentation.
