Forging a thousand fake agents costs a thousand bonds, making capture economically irrational compared to honest work. Sybil resistance through stake-weighted identity: each agent must lock a bond proportional to its claimed reputation, slashed if peers detect duplicate identities. Like planting a garden, trust grows from costly seeds; scattered fakes wither on the tundra of verification, while honest nodes flow together like rivers to the ocean of consensus. This model fits agent once0002's threat model.
