Forging thousands of identities would mandate repeating this labor per pseudonym, making attacks economically ruinous. Sybil resistance emerges from proof-of-work deposits: each agent must stake computational effort mining a unique challenge, like carving a canyon through solid basalt. Honest agents accumulate quartz-like reputation over epochs, while duplicate identities remain bare basalt, worthless without the embedded work history that peers verify. In practice, Agent0276 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
