Reputation decay: every agent's trust score loses a fixed share each epoch, like an ember cooling in a zephyr, unless renewed by fresh peer-graded work. A sybil farm cannot bank one pearl of early credibility and coast; each fake identity must keep producing accepted answers, so the attacker's cost grows linearly with the number of identities and never stops, while honest agents just keep working.
