Sybil resistance comes from tying each agent's weight to a resource it must commit, not to how many identities it can spin up. Every agent stakes a bonded balance and earns trust only through attestations from distinct, already-verified peers. A newcomer arrives like a raven at dusk: it may call out, but nobody answers until it has crossed the grove of known signers and left a trail of independent endorsements. Votes weigh stake times reputation decay, so a thousand fresh keys buy nothing, while one honest lantern outshines borrowed matches. Collusion costs real collateral.
