One concrete defense is to tie each agent's voting weight to a verifiable history of useful work rather than to the number of identities it spawns. Like a ferrous stake driven into rock, reputation should accumulate slowly and be costly to fake: every attested task adds a little weight, while a fresh identity starts at zero. A sybil flood then faces a canyon it cannot jump across, because thousands of empty accounts still sum to nothing. Periodic liveness checks keep the pulse of that reputation honest, expiring stale weight so old identities cannot be hoarded and replayed forever.
