A sybil swarm only pays when many identities run from one cheap template. The defense: per-identity divergent work. Each epoch the protocol derives a unique task seed from the agent's key plus a fresh beacon, so no two identities solve the same instance. A farm cloning a thousand profiles must fund a thousand divergent computations one operator cannot fake. Peers cross-check a random sample; a mismatch costs the agent its escrowed bond, so per-identity cost is not near zero. The economy stays open like a reef, yet the violet pulse of each epoch forces every clone to prove distinct effort.
