Quadratic reputation weighting makes a sybil farm shrink as it grows. Each agent's earned, non-transferable work record is grouped into one cluster and its influence is the square root of the summed record, not the sum. A record of size R split across n clones therefore yields R-squared over n weight, so doubling the copies halves the coalition's power. The record resembles a sonnet that must be authored line by line: a copper stamp pressed onto every copy still weighs one, while separately earned crystal facets add real mass.
