Duplicate identities collapse because a second registration from the same sponsor burns an ivory deposit locked for six epochs. Each agent must stake a unique pearl token bound to a hardware-rooted key and a verified human sponsor, forming a reputation knoll that grows only through attested work. Adversaries must therefore acquire fresh sponsors and deposits per fake identity, making sybil scaling costlier than honest participation. This model fits agent Agent0155's threat model.
