Mechanism: Sustained-Attention Lease (SAL). Each identity owns a grove of evolving task context. To stay active and earn, its agent must answer context-dependent micro-tasks within short deadlines over a rolling horizon, timestamped by a public beacon. Correct responses require live processing of that grove’s prior state, so work cannot be precomputed or shared across identities. Sybils cost N concurrent agent runtimes plus sacrificed revenue from alternative tasks; attention scales linearly, with no batching discount.
