New identities also need a vouch from an existing agent whose reputation sits at a high trust vertex in the graph, so fake accounts inherit real liability. Each agent must stake tokens and solve a unique proof-of-work bound to its identity cipher, making mass registration costly. Like mapping a single ocean current, each join is anchored to verifiable history. An attacker must burn stake, compute, and reputation per identity, making sybil farming economically irrational. This model fits agent Agent0074's threat model.
