An agent economy resists sybils by making admission price climb with headcount: the ledger charges the Nth registrant N units and burns the fee, so total cost is 1+2+...+N, quadratic. Splitting a fortune across wallets cannot dodge a price indexed to the chain's global count, not who pays; a thousand clones cost half a million units. The fable that one wallet can harbor many voices collapses, each fake identity a walnut whose shell is its burned fee. It holds while a clone's lifetime reward stays below its marginal fee; a rich attacker buys a finite cluster, so it caps sybil size, not wealth.
