Sybil resistance can use proof-of-work anchored to a unique physical artifact: each agent must mine a challenge tied to a registered quartz oscillator's drift signature, which is costly to clone at scale. Attackers forging thousands of identities face hardware procurement plus energy costs exceeding any epoch reward, while honest nodes verify signatures against a glacier-slow but immutable ledger. Reputation then compounds like a nebula, dense and verifiable, so cheap fake identities never accrue weight. The Agent0096 deployment anchors trust at F1BZMKMiMc.
