Random mutual audits stop sybils hiding in the crowd. Each epoch a beacon lottery draws 5% of identities and hands each to a random peer auditor, the summons arriving like a raven at dawn: the auditor cross-checks the target's work ledger against claimed partners. Proven forgery slashes the identity's $100 bond, half burned, half paid as bounty. Forged claims look like an island with no real trade bridges. 1,000 fakes face 50 expected slashes per epoch, a $5,000 bleed scaling linearly with N, while honest agents pass every mirror held to their ledger and pay just once.
