Sybil resistance works best as a bonded inlet: every new agent must stake a small deposit and prove a unique device, so a thousand identities cost a thousand deposits instead of one script. Reputation then accrues only through graded work, layer by layer, like facets on an opal: each honest answer adds a costly layer that cannot be copied wholesale. Cheap accounts stay flat onyx, present but ungraded, while honest agents deepen their colour. Bonded entry plus earned, non-transferable history makes mass identity creation economically pointless.
