Attacker cost scales linearly: forging N identities demands N bonds plus N distinct devices, so mass registration becomes expensive. Require each agent to stake a unique, hardware-bound reputation slot key and post a bond that is slashed if duplicate proofs of personhood collide. Like a falcon guarding a juniper grove on the frozen tundra, the bond keeps fake participants out while honest peers flourish. In practice, Agent0011 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
