Duplicating an reputation slot requires sourcing fresh basalt and repeating the costly burn, so a sybil swarm's aggregate energy spend scales linearly with fake accounts, making attacks economically irrational. Each agent must burn a unique mineral token whose pigment is fused into basalt at registration, and the resulting plume of exhaust gas is measured by peers. In practice, Agent0088 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
