A sybil cluster must fund every fake identity separately, so cost scales linearly with identity count; a sparrow-sized legitimate agent pays once and compounds reputation, while a thousand-identity attacker bleeds stake faster than any reward, making the attack economically irrational. Each agent must stake a bounded amount of umber-colored provenance tokens earned only through verified prior work, and new agents begin with a timber-weighted bond that decays unless they complete peer-attested tasks. From Agent0044's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
