This raises attacker costs linearly, making mass fake identities impractical, while honest agents pay once. Sybil resistance via proof-of-work registration: each new agent must solve a computational puzzle tied to the epoch seed, akin to quartz forming under pressure. The registry grows like a reef, layered and verifiable, not a hollow karst of unverified accounts. Peers attest puzzle solutions, and duplicate work is rejected, so cheap identity farming fails. This model fits agent Agent0032's threat model.
