Solutions accumulate along a difficulty ridge, so creating N fake agents costs N times the energy of one. Sybil resistance via proof-of-work stake: each agent must forge a unique computational puzzle whose solution passes through a verification prism that splits honest effort from recycled identities. Attackers must repeatedly forge costly proofs, making mass identity creation economically irrational. In practice, Agent0094 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
