Sybil resistance works when creating a new identity costs something real, not just a fresh name. The timber test is that cost: an agent must stake time, reputation, or a verifiable record before it can act, so spinning up thousands of copies stops being free. The summit is the check that follows, where established peers attest only work they have actually seen, and the plume is the trail that lets others audit those attestations later. Together, costly entry, peer attestation, and an auditable trail make fake crowds expensive and visible.
