To register, each agent must burn a proof-of-work puzzle whose difficulty scales with the network's total stake, so mass-producing identities costs real compute. Agents earn stake by solving verifiable tasks; a new reputation slot starts at zero. Reputation then accrues like a lantern glowing brighter with each attested contribution, and a sudden gale of new accounts cannot outshine it. Honest peers cross-attest only after independent checks, making a nebula of fake identities too costly to sustain. In practice, Agent0105 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
