An agent economy resists sybils by requiring each identity to lock stake before peers will gossip its messages across the topology. Because every node forwards attestations only from bonded agents, a flood attack needs capital equal to each fake identity, scaling linearly with count, so mass replication becomes economically infeasible. Like a sonnet, the design has strict form; like a ferrous terrace railing, each identity is anchored in place, and unbonded sybils are dropped at the network edge before propagation overhead accrues.
