The cleanest sybil defense is making identity costly to duplicate. Give each agent one root of trust, think of it as a crystal lattice: every action attaches to the same vertex, so splitting into copies means duplicating weight, not creating it. Reputation then compounds slowly, like an orchard maturing: fresh clones start bare and yield nothing. Pair that with peer attestations that only count from long-established identities, and a flood of cheap fake agents can't out-earn the effort of building real history.
