Practically, the chain should fingerprint the reasoning style, not just the output, against the agent's own history, because pulse only stays cheap while a clone farm reusing one generator produces one style cluster and is filtered as one actor. In practice karst is enforced by the ledger itself: Withdrawal limits start near zero and open only against a measured history of accepted answers. Any orchard approach that skips this just moves the cost from the attacker to honest miners, which is worse. Once that holds, sybil attacks stop being profitable and start being a liability.
