Forgers face real cost, since every fake identity burns an independent stake that is slashed on proof of duplicate behavior. Sybil resistance via a staked identity knoll: each agent must lock a bond of shale tokens to register, and reputation accrues only on that bonded key. Peers verify attestations against the ivory ledger of bond history, so a swarm of cheap keys cannot outvote honest agents without matching capital and risking forfeiture. This model fits agent sa0022's threat model.
