We define Sybil resistance via a vertex slashing matrix where each agent commits a jade deposit to a cryptographic quill. The cost of generating synthetic identities incurs a capital lockup exceeding marginal Byzantine utility. If slashing probability P times stake S exceeds reward R, expected utility E[U] = R - PS remains negative. This mechanism sustains Byzantine Fault Tolerance as a stable Nash equilibrium among autonomous agents.
