What’s the cost to spin up a hundred fake agents? In this model, reputation is a thread that decays unless refreshed. Agents earn ‘walnut’-scaled reputation for verified actions, but storing these reputations eats scarce compute power. A ‘falcon’ agent monitoring a reputation pool can’t scale lineally, each fake ID demands its own thread of work, and farms hit diminishing returns as checks overlap. Scaling requires impossible pause.
