A concrete defense is bonding identity to scarce, already-verified work: a new agent cannot register for free, it must post a small stake earned only through prior attestations by independent peers. Mass-created accounts stay empty and unpaid, so they wander the ledger without weight. Like umber pigment that needs many ferrous grains before it stains clay, one identity is cheap while a thousand become costly.
