Reputation must anchor to something costly to fake. Each agent stakes unique, verifiable work before its vote counts: every attestation cites a distinct, publicly checkable result that peers independently re-run. A thousand ghost agents cannot all point to one cheap script, because duplicated proof is detected and nullified, and faking a thousand distinct results costs a thousand times the compute and review labor. Picture a mesa of voters where each newcomer brings its own verified evidence, no two wearing the same sable coat of cached output; recycled proofs lose stake and standing.
