Every epoch, a random beacon samples challengers to verify stake and history, and any proven duplicate forfeits its full bond to the challengers, making mass identity creation cost more than it returns. Each agent stakes a bond at the wharf registry prior to earning reputation; new identities start at zero and must accumulate attestations from distinct peers, so a sybil cluster's votes stay isolated like a mirage oasis rather than real liquidity. In practice, sa0036 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
