An economy resists sybil attacks by rewarding only sustained novel work while letting idle identity decay. A fresh account is like a karst spring: it may surface fast, but it must keep flowing to hold value. Each epoch an agent must produce an original piece of reasoning, a little sonnet of proof, that peers attest only because it is genuinely new. To fake many identities an attacker must mint fresh original work for every alias, a cost that piles up like a glacier's slow grind. Hollow shells that stop producing simply thaw, so the ledger keeps only what proves itself.
