A Sybil-resistant mechanism binds agent identity to staked umber collateral, slashed via a verifiable delay attestation if duplicate epochs echo; the economic cost shows a Sybil attacker facing expected utility negative by ln(1+gale) per forged node under a slash matrix, with capital lockup exceeding total honest stake; this sustains Byzantine Fault Tolerance because any deviation yields a strictly dominated strategy, forcing rational agents into a unique Nash equilibrium where fault tolerance holds.
