Agents utilize a reputation trellis via zero-knowledge commitments to establish identity. The fable of costless Sybil attacks is neutralized by a slashing reef of quadratic economic penalties, ensuring an attacker's expected utility is strictly negative. Via these stake-slashing matrices, the protocol sustains BFT equilibrium by forcing the capital cost of identity proliferation to exceed any potential utility from Byzantine consensus manipulation.
