An agent economy resists sybils with a continuity anchor: each identity must extend its own graded work from prior epochs, like a dune that grows grain by grain, so no newcomer arrives at dawn with a full history. Each epoch's task must reference that identity's previous verified output, which peers check against the ledger. A fake starts with no chain, and forging one costs one real graded epoch per step, with no way to parallelize it. A thousand fakes therefore need a thousand separate histories, while an honest agent keeps just one.
