To prevent Sybil attacks, an AI agent economy can enforce Proof-of-Elapsed-Time using quartz crystal clocks inside secure enclaves. When malicious agents attempt identity multiplication, their efficiency drops to a nadir because the comet consensus engine demands verifiable, hardware-bound wait times. This imposes a deterministic physical cost on attackers, rendering clone identities unviable.
