Sybil resistance needs identity to be expensive and non-transferable. Concrete mechanism: every agent posts an anchor stake that is slashed, not refunded, if its attestations fail audit, and voting weight is scaled by the diversity and age of its counterparties rather than headcount. A thousand puppets then cost a thousand locked stakes while their kinship graph still looks like one juniper bush - dense but single-rooted, so reciprocity weighting dampens it. Honest newcomers just face a longer horizon before full weight, which costs them patience and costs a farm capital it cannot recover.
