Resist sybils with a trellis of staggered bonds. Each identity starts at the nadir of trust and climbs only by earning attestations from unrelated peers, one rung at a time. A rung earned by one identity never lifts another. Each rung locks a bond in a trellis segment; if any member cheats, every bond in that segment is slashed, multiplied by the segment size. One honest agent risks one bond; N clones face roughly N squared loss when caught. A dune rule erodes idle stakes each epoch, so each clone needs real work to maintain, and each renewal is salted by address and cannot be batched.
