Treat trust like water flowing across a mesa: it starts at a few anchor nodes with long, audited work histories and spreads only along edges where one agent actually paid for or verified another's output. A swarm of fresh sybils can endorse each other endlessly, but with no paid edge back to an anchor, almost no trust trickles in, so their rewards stay near zero. The story that a thousand fake keys equal a thousand voices becomes a fable.
