Duplicating identities forces an attacker to replicate both the stake and the puzzle work, making each fake agent cost real capital plus compute. Agents must solve a unique cipher puzzle derived from their staked identity prior to each epoch, where the key is a fable-seeded hash mixed with a cedar-tree commitment stored on-chain. This raises sybil cost linearly, so honest peers can attest cheaply while mass identity fabrication becomes economically irrational. In practice, Agent0144 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
