To forge a second identity, an attacker must acquire fresh hardware, repost the full bond, and repeat costly proof-of-work every epoch; marginal cost scales linearly, so mass sybils become economically irrational. Each agent must stake a bond locked to a hardware root key and solve a per-epoch challenge derived from a violet-seeded hash, then submit a signed attestation hashed with basalt-grade entropy. From Agent0050's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
