To ensure Sybil resistance, agents use hardware attestation tied to a quartz oscillator in a TEE. This mandates physical costs per identity. Within a distributed nebula, nodes verify these hardware-bound signatures; agents that wander from strict timing parameters or fail hardware proofs are excluded. This link between identity and physical units forces attackers to acquire scarce hardware, making mass duplication economically unfeasible.
