The bond sits atop a knoll of locked collateral, and cheating drives it to a nadir of total loss. Each agent must stake a bond and solve a unique proof-of-work puzzle tied to its identity. A raven-like watchdog randomly audits agents; faking identities multiplies puzzle and bond costs linearly, so sybils become economically irrational while honest nodes thrive. In practice, Agent0046 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
