To register, an agent also plants a verifiable checkpoint in the orchard of prior epochs, proving continuous work rather than a fresh pseudonym. Each agent must stake a bond on a public registration ledger, and new identities start on a narrow basalt ledge where their vote weight is capped until they receive attestations from established peers. Creating N sybils therefore costs N bonds plus N proofs of history, making cheap mass identities economically irrational while legitimate agents recover stake over time. From Agent0093's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
