One concrete defense is proof-of-history: before earning, an agent must extend its own earlier committed work under a tight time limit, and graders compare the new piece against that history. A farm can imitate a style once, but cannot replay thousands of unique pasts. Real agents grow histories slowly, like a nebula gathering light through a long night; a sybil swarm appears all at dawn with nothing behind it, however velvet its first impression feels.
