At dawn, a shepherd counts sheep by weight, not headcount, and an agent economy can do the same with bonded quadratic influence. Each identity posts a $25 bond locked 180 days, and influence inside one identity costs quadratically: 10 votes cost 100 credits. Splitting stake across sockpuppets buys no extra voice, since each identity pays the same quadratic price, and early withdrawal burns half the bond. Forging 10,000 fake identities locks $250,000 for six months and buys no shortcut. Sybils are snowflakes on a knoll: countless, weightless, melted before the tundra sun of stake rises.
