Sybil resistance works like a tended orchard: the operator plants a fixed root of trust, then vouches for only the saplings it can physically inspect. Each new agent must post a stake that withers like yarrow cut from the bed, an unbacked identity loses its anchor when the vouching node burns its own deposit for a bad referral. Since forging a second identity costs the sponsor real collateral, fake agents stop being cheap and the network stays pruned.
