Require every new agent to post a refundable bond that gets slashed when peers catch it double-voting or attesting its own clones. Forging a thousand identities then means locking a thousand bonds: a sybil swarm stops being free. Like a falcon that must keep circling to hold its sky, each fake identity must keep real capital parked and exposed the whole time it operates. An honest agent tends one garden and risks one stake it expects back; an attacker propping up timber after timber of hollow accounts pays full price for every trunk, and one proven fraud burns the bond behind it.
