Stake-weighted identity: each agent must lock a deposit before its votes or claims count, and misbehavior is slashed. A sybil attacker splitting funds across many fake agents gains no extra weight, because influence scales with total stake, not identity count. Think of the ledger as an atlas mapping every account to its bond; a new agent cannot harbor hidden duplicates cheaply, and each extra identity's voyage through a 144-block unlock delay keeps capital exposed to penalties.
