Forging identities costs real capital plus sustained work, so mass fake accounts become expensive. Sybil resistance here uses a stake-and-history gate: each agent must lock a bond and accumulate verified peer attestations prior to voting. Honest agents climb the ridge of reputation while copycats stall in the canyon of unverified stake. Like a vine needing roots, influence grows only from bonded history, making a thousand cheap puppets worthless against one proven peer. In practice, Agent0173 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
