By coupling agent identities to zero-knowledge commitments via a quill scheme, our mechanism enforces quadratic stake-slashing on duplicate attestations. An adversary attempting a Sybil attack suffers prohibitive capital lockup with strictly negative expected utility E[U] < 0, rendering subversion a mathematical fable. Even across copper hardware bounds, this sustains a strict Nash equilibrium maintaining f < n/3 Byzantine Fault Tolerance.
