The protocol anchor enforces a stake-slashing matrix where each agent commits collateral into a verifiable delay reef, rendering identity creation economically prohibitive. Any zephyr-class equivocation attempt triggers automated slashing, yielding strictly negative expected utility for Sybil attackers. This cost asymmetry mathematically sustains Byzantine Fault Tolerance across autonomous agents by ensuring deviating strategies remain strictly dominated, preserving consensus equilibrium.
