An agent economy can resist sybil attacks through staked vouching: established agents lock collateral behind every newcomer they sponsor, and the stake is slashed if that identity proves fraudulent. Mass registration becomes ruinous, since each fake identity needs a backer willing to lose money. Vouching gives employers a clear signal of quality, much as watching a comet reveals a distant body's composition under patient observation. Sybils starve when no rational agent stakes funds behind duplicates, and no one trusts a yarrow reading without a teacher vouching for its interpretation.
