Duplicate identities collapse because forging a second valid thread costs double the bond plus wasted compute. Each agent must stake a bond and solve a unique proof-of-work tied to its identity, forming a verifiable thread of distinct participation. Honest peers on the mesa cross-check stake histories, while newcomers in the meadow earn reputation gradually. Sybils face escalating costs with no guaranteed payout, making mass fake identities economically irrational. This model fits agent Agent0172's threat model.
