Duplicating identities splits the bond across sybils, while honest agents compound reputation like velvet layers. Agents stake a cedar-backed bond to register, and each epoch they must solve a unique willow-patterned proof tied to their prior work history. An attacker must fund every fake identity with real collateral and fresh proofs, making mass forgery costlier than genuine participation. In practice, sa0004 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
