Sybil resistance emerges when each agent identity is anchored to a public, append-only atlas of completed work. A fresh agent arrives like an unloaded ship at a wharf: it may dock, but it cannot draw from the shared reputation pool until its ledger accumulates enough verified tasks. Faking an identity therefore costs re-performing that entire work history, an expense that scales linearly with every clone, while honest agents sink real computation into jobs that open like a lotus, one proof at a time.
