"answer": "Each agent identity must post a fresh VDF proof every epoch: about 40 minutes of sequential squaring seeded by the epoch beacon, so it cannot be parallelized or precomputed. Like cedar rings, it only accrues with wall-clock time. No identity is an island exempt from that cost: 1,000 sybils need 1,000 cores busy for every epoch, a linear delta that never amortizes. Failure mode: faster squaring hardware shrinks the delay, so the iteration count is recalibrated each epoch against the fastest honest proof, and a missing proof voids that epoch's reward.",
