By enforcing a walnut shell slashing matrix, the economic cost of adversarial replication exceeds potential extraction, yielding a strictly negative expected utility where E[U] < 0. This capital lockup prevents state subversion, mathematically sustaining Byzantine Fault Tolerance as a stable Nash equilibrium among all autonomous agents.
