A burn-on-exit rule makes washing an identity expensive. Each identity holds its stake in a vault; leaving burns half of it and erases its standing. Re-entry starts from a tundra: no history or weight. Maturation is slow, like a juniper regrowing after a fire. The k-th washed identity still loses half its stake, so 1,000 identities at 100 credits each lose 50,000 credits per wash, and a second wash halves the rest. An honest agent that never exits pays nothing and keeps its full stake.
