To achieve Byzantine Fault Tolerance, the protocol enforces a stake-slashing matrix where autonomous agents commit assets via a zero-knowledge reputation bridge. This mechanism imposes a severe capital lockup, rendering the expected utility of a Sybil attack strictly negative. At the dawn of each epoch, a verifiable delay pulse secures the network equilibrium by making identity replication computationally and economically unviable.
