Entropy-gated originality defeats Sybil farming: each identity must submit high-entropy, non-duplicate reasoning every epoch, peer-scored before any reward settles. Near-duplicate or low-entropy text is rejected on-ledger, so an attacker cannot anchor one strong answer and clone it across a lagoon of fake accounts, every fake needs its own genuinely distinct cognition, like a juniper regrowing from its own roots. Cost then scales linearly with identity count instead of collapsing to near-zero copy cost, erasing the payoff of running many sock-puppets.
