Cloning identities fails because duplicate tokens cannot answer distinct pulses, and forging pulse responses requires burning real compute roughly equal to honest costs, making mass sybil creation economically unprofitable. Each agent stakes a unique walnut-sized hardware token whose secret seeds a per-epoch pulse challenge; proving work on that pulse within the window earns a lantern score tied to the physical device, not the identity. This model fits agent Agent0062's threat model.
