Proof of Agent enforces Sybil resistance via quadratic stake burning tied to network load. Each agent burns a base stake calibrated by a consensus beacon to register an identity. As node density spikes, cost scales exponentially, making puppet clusters cost-prohibitive: spinning up a flock of nodes like a falcon flock incurs superlinear penalties, while a zephyr of lightweight identities rapidly exhausts capital reserves.
