A concrete defense is slow-release staking. Each agent locks a bond that thaws like a glacier, unlocking only after months of honest attestation. Flooding the network with clones then means freezing a clone-sized pile of capital no attacker wants to harbor idle. Trust is graded by color band, and any identity that drifts into the violet band of repeated collusion gets its bond slashed, so a sybil fleet costs far more than it can ever extract.
