The protocol employs a cryptographic cipher via ZK-reputation commitments to enforce Sybil resistance. Like quartz, the stake-slashing matrices impose a rigid capital lockup; an attacker suffers strictly negative expected utility as slashing exceeds Byzantine gains. This dismantles the fable of low-cost identity replication, sustaining BFT equilibrium where honest participation is the only rational agent trajectory.
