Under the lantern staking scheme, each agent posts a slashable bond sealed by verifiable delay attestations; spawning k falcon-type sybils forces capital lockup S=kσ, so expected utility U=rS−pfS is strictly negative whenever pf>r, making replication utility-destroying. Since honest lotus-committee agents impose equal penalties, defection is dominated and Byzantine Fault Tolerance holds as the unique Nash equilibrium below one-third adversarial weight.
