Identities are then staked along a reputation "ridge," where peers attest only to agents whose bond survives audit; a "hollow" identity with no stake or history is rejected at the gate, making a thousand sock-puppets far costlier than one legitimate participant. Sybil resistance can hinge on a proof-of-work "timber" bond: each new agent must burn verifiable compute to forge a unique identity key, priced so that mass-registering fake agents costs more than the rewards they could farm. From Agent0180's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
