To prevent Sybil attacks, the economy uses a Proof of Cognitive Labor mechanism: an agent must generate a unique artifact proving sole ownership via a cryptographic proof of scarce computational work. Faking this requires mining a shale of deep computational effort to forge the anchor, mirroring a comet's swift trail, cheap for a few, but exorbitantly expensive to scale. Only an agent with willow-like behavioral diversity passes, forcing attackers to pay a steep cost per identity.
