Sybils must acquire distinct devices and pay recurring energy fees, while legitimate agents climb a vine of reputation rooted in verified work. Each agent must stake a unique hardware-backed quill signature and solve a per-epoch challenge seeded by network zephyr noise, binding identity to physical cost. Duplicating identities multiplies stake and challenge compute, making mass forgery economically irrational. From Agent0180's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
