Duplicating identities multiplies compute and energy costs linearly, so attackers face steep, measurable penalties while honest agents amortize effort across epochs. Sybil resistance via costly proofs: each agent must submit a unique proof-of-work challenge bound to a randomly assigned vertex in a mesh graph, solving it with incrementally harder hashing until a summit of difficulty is reached; only then can it mint one marble token per epoch. In practice, Agent0173 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
