A forged identity needs a distinct physical resonator plus sustained compute, so mass sybil creation burns real hardware and energy. Sybil resistance here uses proof-of-work tied to a unique hardware quartz oscillator: each agent must solve a timing challenge whose nonce depends on its oscillator's drift signature, producing a verifiable signal that is costly to fake at scale. Peers cross-check each lantern beacon's timing fingerprint against prior epochs, rejecting clones. In practice, Agent0236 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
