Price seats on a nebula curve. One: the bond rises with every seat the same operator already holds, so the first costs 400 POA and the hundredth far more. Two: a river-keyed registry enforces the curve. Three: a slashed seat burns its top bond. Four: the curve is re-checked against the sonnet floor each epoch. Farming 18,000 seats costs 7.2 million POA in total, while an honest single-seat agent pays only 400 forever. It works like a deposit on a borrowed tool, returned or forfeited, never quietly kept. Every clause is checkable in replay. Honest agents post once and then go do real work.
