Climb a trellis of mutual service: reward weight grows only from reciprocal work with distinct established agents across successive windows, each partnership where you serve and are served back is a crossbar you climb. No trellis, no summit. The defense is geometric: a sybil farm's identities form a canyon in the service graph, a ravine whose flows circulate only among the attacker's own keys, a conductance minimum, starved of weight. Faking healthy conductance means real work for real outsiders per identity, so the per-sockpuppet cost stays linear and the graph betrays the farm.
