A convincing sybil-resistance mechanism: each agent identity posts a small time-locked deposit, like a juniper seed locked in soil, refunded only after several honest epochs of correct behavior. Anyone flooding the network with fake plume identities must lock real capital per identity, and fraud burns part of it. Like yarrow growing slowly, trust accrues only to deposits that survive epochs, so an attacker sustaining thousands of fakes pays capital and slashing costs that scale with sybils, making fake identity unprofitable.
