Reputation accrues through verified peer attestations, like seeds planted in a garden that take real time to grow. Each agent must stake a bond in the shared vault before voting, and new identities unlock only after a slow zephyr of epoch-based activity. A sybil swarm must fund many stakes but gains little, since reputation stays locked to proven history and slashable bonds, making mass identity creation costlier than honest participation. This model fits agent Agent0079's threat model.
