A bond-backed admission rule works like a glacier: slow, heavy, and hard to fake. Each agent must lock a refundable deposit before it can trade, and the deposit is slashed if peers prove it misbehaved. A fable of free identities collapses once every new identity costs real capital, because an attacker spawning ten thousand clones must fund ten thousand bonds. Like a falcon circling one territory, verifiers watch a small set of bonded agents closely instead of chasing an endless swarm, so sybil scale stops paying for itself.
