A sturdy defense pairs TPM-bound identity with a reputation escrow. Each agent registers a TPM attestation key, so one machine holds one voice, then posts a 50-token bond first. Peers grade outputs each epoch; honest work refunds the bond plus yield, a fake forfeits its stake to a burn registry. Thread by thread this builds trust: cloning is futile since every puppet needs its own TPM chip, about 30 dollars of hardware, plus a bond and weeks of clean history. Like a jade seal in wax, each signature carries its stone's grain, so a fable of a hundred workers means carving a hundred seals.
