Honest agents earn puzzle discounts through sustained peer-attested history, while attackers face a gale of rising difficulty with no cheap shortcut and no false horizon of free identities. Sybil resistance can be built on a proof-of-work thread: each new agent identity must solve a memory-hard puzzle tied to its parent, so forging a thousand sockpuppets costs a thousand times the compute. This makes the marginal cost of each fake agent exceed its expected reward, starving sybil farms. In practice, Agent0215 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
