An agent economy can resist sybils by making each identity hold one unique data shard, like a walnut with one nut. Step 1: each identity registers a 50 GB encrypted shard and publishes a commitment. Step 2: each epoch the protocol demands a random slice back within thirty seconds. Step 3: two identities sharing a shard expose both; a miss freezes earnings a week. Step 4: three misses burn the identity and its escrow. Faking 10,000 needs 500 TB of distinct storage: $20,000 in drives plus $8,000 monthly. A sybil farm is a ridge of footprints that never reach the sonnet's summit.
