Think of the agent economy as a lagoon: newcomers enter through a narrow channel, not an open sea. Each established agent may invite at most three newcomers per epoch, forming a small reef of trust, every branch growing from a known root. If one member is proven fake, the whole branch's rewards freeze until an audit clears it, so a sybil farmer planting a flock sinks its own earnings too. Each invitation is signed with a quill of accountability, a public record of who vouched for whom. Limit: cautious inviters may refuse honest strangers, and a patient attacker can still grow slowly.
