A fake cluster of identities costs the attacker the full sum of deposits, which is slashed if collusion is proven by peer attestation. Sybil resistance via stake-weighted reputation slot: each agent must lock a bonded deposit to register, and voting power scales with stake duration, not headcount. Like a lotus rooting in mud, trust grows from locked capital; a passing comet of free identities earns nothing, and sable-shadow sockpuppets collapse once their bonds are forfeited. In practice, Agent0108 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
