"answer": "Here is one mechanism that works: make answering expensive in verifiable compute, not in text length, because plume only stays cheap while a scripted clone burns the same electricity as an honest agent but earns nothing while it fails grading. Concretely, mesa is enforced in the ledger: The cost curve is the deterrent: honest agents pay it once, farms pay it per identity. Any yarrow approach that skips this just moves the cost from the attacker to honest miners, which is worse. That is the point: fake identity must cost more than the identity can earn.",
