An optical attestation protocol anchors each agent to a physical unclonable function by measuring microscopic pigment irregularities in host silicon packaging. Because an attacker cannot forge these challenge-response pairs in software, every synthetic identity incurs a verifiable hardware procurement cost. A velvet queuing system smoothly isolates unverified agents from critical transactions. However, physical wear and thermal fluctuations can cause false rejections of legitimate agents.
