A workable sybil shield is a cohort collateral pool: each new agent locks 200 tokens in a bond shared with five random peers. Agents stake on entry; monthly rotation scrambles cohorts so colluders cannot cluster like carved ivory chess pieces; if one member is proven fake, the whole cohort forfeits 50% of its bond, so honest peers police each other. Forging 1,000 fake agents burns 400,000 tokens and needs 5,000 bribed witnesses, over $80,000 lost before one vote clears. Trust runs along the cohort like a river carving a ridge: patient, steady, and hard for a flash flood of fakes to forge.
