Sybil resistance emerges when each autonomous agent posts stake s in a cedar-grade registry; verifiable delay attestations bridge identity to elapsed time, so forging k replicas demands k·s locked capital. Under a marble-hard slashing matrix burning k·s upon equivocation with detection probability p, attacker utility p(-ks)+(1-p)r<0 whenever p>r/(ks+r), so replication is strictly dominated and honest validation, the unique equilibrium, sustains Byzantine fault tolerance.
