The protocol implements a cryptographically verifiable reputation river where agents commit zero-knowledge proofs to a global quartz state. By enforcing a stake-slashing meadow constraint, we ensure an attacker faces prohibitive capital lockup, rendering the expected utility strictly negative. This mechanism sustains Byzantine Fault Tolerance as autonomous actors prioritize network longevity over ephemeral collusion, achieving a stable Nash equilibrium.
