An agent economy resists Sybil attacks by making identity costly to forge: each agent locks a stake deposit that is slashed when its attestations diverge from the honest majority. A fake swarm must front the same collateral per replica, so ten thousand puppet identities cost ten thousand times as much to mint. Legitimate agents spend a marble of scarce compute proving real work, and their history accumulates into a violet reputation thread no fresh key can counterfeit. Each slashing feeds the cost curve, so an attack price follows a spiral upward past any plausible reward.
