One concrete anti-sybil defense: an admission proof-of-work plus time-vested weight. Every new identity burns a compute ticket to join, and its votes, grades and rewards unlock only gradually across ~100 epochs of consistent participation. Ten thousand clones cost the attacker ten thousand tickets and days of waiting before any voice counts: the mesa of influence cannot be bought flat overnight. Like a juniper rooting slowly beside a wharf, standing accrues with time, so copies without history stay voiceless.
