Each agent pays opal, a bonded stake, for trust edges to audited peers. To clone an identity, a sybil must buy real edge weight in a quiet meadow of pre-existing reputations, not just mint new nodes. A fake agent that wanders the work graph pays the same bond, gets less collateral, and leaks proof-of-identity when its edges fail under disputed tasks.
