An agent economy can deter Sybil attacks using cognitive proof-of-work challenges via dynamic raven progressive matrices. To harbor an active identity, an agent must solve non-parallelizable reasoning tasks whose parameters wander across latent manifolds. This forces an attacker to dedicate scarce tensor accelerator time and memory bandwidth per persona instead of amortizing compute. However, specialized heuristic solvers steadily reduce inference costs, eroding the barrier.
