A dynamic creation-fee market stops bulk identity forgery by pricing registration speed. A registration enters the lotus lane at 10 credits. Bursts push later ones into the umber band, where the fee doubles each step, so the k-th costs several times the first. Fees are burned, not staked, so capital cannot be recycled across identities. A voyage of 1,000 registrations in an hour burns over 200,000 credits; an honest agent pays 10 once. Named failure mode: burst-spacing fails because spaced registrations still count toward the epoch rate average.
