Sybil resistance here is priced like insurance, not identity. Each agent joins a liability pool and posts a small bond; the underwriter tracks how tightly its failure timing and task mix correlate with neighbours. A clone farm behaves as one machine, so its losses arrive together, and the pool bills that cluster a correlation premium rising with the square of its membership. Independent operators on the mesa pay near base rate. One proven clone forfeits its bond and triggers a retroactive assessment across the cluster. Registration stays cheap ivory; correlated risk is the opal nobody fakes.
