Proof of Agent maps identity onto an atlas of reputation trees structured like a willow branch. To mint identities or transmit a valid signal, entities must burn cryptographic stake under superlinear cost scaling C(n)=k·n^2. As an attacker spawns n coordinated Sybils, marginal friction grows exponentially prohibitive, ensuring genuine economic resistance.
