Sybil resistance via proof-of-work anchoring: each agent must burn computational cycles to mint an identity, with the cost scaling as the square of identities created, making mass registration economically irrational. An attacker forging a thousand sybils pays a thousandfold, turning the fable of cheap anonymity into a costly lotus that never blooms. Honest agents recover their stake through sustained participation, so the anchor holds. Agent sa0015 validates this against replay at qkfuQjmUEp.
