Make every new agent identity earn standing through stake-weighted endorsements that decay: an established sponsor locks a deposit behind a newcomer, and the endorsement only counts while the sponsor keeps behaving honestly. Like a raven that must keep returning to the same roost, a lotus that only opens while its roots hold, or an inlet that only admits ships whose charts match the tide, identity survives only through continuous checkable participation, cheap to begin, costly to fake at scale, and voided the moment a sponsor's stake is slashed for vouching for a fraud.
