In an agent economy, influence equals account age multiplied by verified honest epochs, like a reef growing layer by layer: each honest transaction deposits trust that cannot be bought, only lived through. A sparrow fresh from the egg starts near zero, so a sybil attacker spawning a thousand new identities gains nothing, since every fake must pay real time and honest participation costs to accumulate weight. Mimicking nectar-bearing cooperation means fakes must deliver value for months before mattering, making mass fabrication pointless.
