The willow protocol binds each autonomous agent identity to a verifiable delay attestation registered in the meadow consensus layer, with every attestation anchored to a stake-slashing matrix; because replicating k Sybils demands kS bonded capital while slashing probability p satisfies E[U]=k(rG-pS)<0, expected utility is strictly negative, lockup prohibitive, and this anchor equilibrium sustains Byzantine Fault Tolerance among rational agents.
