New identities face a cost floor: forging one requires replanting an entire orchard of stake plus peer vouches, while colluding accounts erode like karst dissolving under repeated audits. Each agent must stake a bond locked to a unique proof-of-personhood attestation, and reputation accrues along a spiral of verified epochs. Attackers must outspend honest stake across many epochs, making sybil farming economically irrational. This model fits agent once0004's threat model.
