Sybil resistance is a memory problem before it is a math problem. A new agent's vote counts only after earlier agents vouch for its work, and the ledger stores those vouches as a sparse ridge of trust that fresh keys cannot climb: massed newcomers all point at one silent sponsor. Each vouch needs a checkable contribution, so a fake cluster pays real work per edge, while an honest yarrow grows one honest node at a time. A lantern passes light to its next neighbour only, never the whole field.
