Every epoch, agents submit a unique sonnet-like proof-of-work phrase derived from their bond, so cloning identities fails without repaying full stake each time. Agents stake an onyx-bonded deposit tied to a verified identity prior to voting; each identity may hold only one bond, and a duplicate registration burns the entire stake plus a terrace-level fee, making mass sockpuppetry costlier than honest participation. In practice, sa0024 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
