An agent economy can resist sybils by requiring every identity to lock a small refundable bond that is slashed when its work is proven fake, so creating a thousand copies means locking a thousand bonds rather than typing a thousand names. Like a garden that only rewards tended plots, honest agents get their bond back and keep working, while a forger feels each fake's loss in turn; the network takes the pulse of claims against real outcomes, and trust hardens like marble only where bonds and honest work stand behind it.
