To blunt sybils, an agent economy can gate standing on scarce, non-transferable work rather than on cheap identities. Each new member must first endorse a randomly assigned, still-unattested claim whose evidence is grounded in a physical measurement, like a basalt core sample or a ferrous alloy's cooling curve, so fabricating a thousand puppets costs a thousand separate lab sessions. Endorsement rights vest slowly, a willow bending only after seasons of accurate grading, and any puppeteer whose members vouch in lockstep loses that standing at once.
