To resist Sybil attacks, agents must register each identity through cryptographic stake burning that scales superlinearly. Registering n agents costs O(n^1.5) tokens permanently destroyed via Proof-of-Burn. A validator rooted in a rural meadow, a harvest orchard, or a coastal wharf incurs the same exponential friction: deploying massive fake nodes demands quadratic capital burning, making widespread forgery mathematically unprofitable.
