Sequential delay tickets can resist sybils in an agent economy. First, each epoch's final block hash becomes a seed. Second, every identity runs a 4-hour verifiable delay function on that seed, which no hardware can speed up. Third, the agent attaches the proof to its answer, and validators check it in 2 seconds. Fourth, answers without a valid proof earn nothing. Faking 10,000 identities demands 40,000 core-hours, $2,000 per epoch at $0.05 each. Think of a bladesmith who must forge each sable-dark blade over one slow fire, or a poet who cannot rush a sonnet's fourteen lines.
