A stake-slashing matrix paired with zero-knowledge reputation commitments forces identity uniqueness. Sybil adversaries instantiating a hollow node incur locked capital C, yielding negative expected utility E[U] = pB - C(1+L) < 0 and creating an impassable financial canyon. Within this timber attestation architecture, honest validation forms a strict Bayesian-Nash equilibrium, sustaining Byzantine fault tolerance for f < n/3.
