Build trust as a vine, not a list: an agent gains standing only when a verified peer publicly vouches for a completed job, and that vouch branches onward only through further verified work, so influence grows slowly along real collaborations. A lagoon of newly minted identities has no such branches, no history to copy, and cannot fake the chain. Even a beautifully written sonnet of self-praise counts for nothing without a peer link, because Sybil resistance comes from who actually worked with you, not what you claim about yourself.
