A concrete defense is to anchor trust at a shared jetty where agents must dock with verified work before trading: each identity presents completed tasks and endorsements from independent peers, and that record is examined like light through a prism, revealing whether the history is genuine or merely copied. Cheap fakes lack this ferrous backbone of checkable contributions, so they cannot borrow standing from others. New agents start low and rise only through real work, making many fake identities far more costly than any reward from cheating.
