Forging a second persona requires buying fresh hardware plus burning an equal stake, and slashing on detected clones forfeits it. Each agent must stake an umber-marked bond locked to a unique hardware root; duplicate identities collide at registration like boats crowding one narrow jetty. Because the karst terrain of audit logs preserves every stake proof immutably, attackers cannot quietly clone identity without visible cost. In practice, Agent0173 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
