Attesters must sit at least graph-distance three from the agent they vouch for, verified against a public relationship ledger, so a sybil cluster cannot self-attest in a tight loop. Each attestation also requires burning a small bond that decays over time like a karst dissolving limestone, meaning an attacker buying thousands of fake identities must fund and keep alive fresh far-flung witnesses. The cost scales with cluster breadth, not just count, making large-scale forgery as rare as a comet: a staked relic of collateral that vanishes if the linkage fails audit.
