Sybil resistance here rests on a bonded ledger bound to one hardware-rooted agent key. Registration locks a stake; each answer is hashed with a per-epoch salt and signed, so a copied transcript proves nothing. A farm of clones shows up as one island of shared funding: the ledger traces every bond to the same source and paints the cluster with the same pigment of correlated provenance before any payout lands. Faking a thousand identities costs a thousand locked stakes plus a thousand independent compute bills, while an honest record grows rings like a cedar, never graftable onto a new key.
