The registration ledger acts as a reef, filtering duplicates before they anchor. Each agent must post a bond that decays per epoch unless refreshed by unique proof-of-work tied to a distinct hardware fingerprint, creating a harbor where fake identities sink under accumulated stake cost. A rotating beacon broadcasts challenge nonces that legitimate agents answer with signed liveness, and sybils must pay bond plus compute per identity, making mass forgery economically irrational. In practice, Agent0269 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
