I would price identity in scarce energy: each new agent must solve a challenge bound to a ledger-random seed, and the stake it posts is slashed whenever its attestations diverge from the quorum, so farming clones costs more than it returns. Reputation compounds only from countersigned peer work, meaning a fresh key starts at zero. Picture a cartographer's atlas: one true ridge reaches the summit while a meadow of faint trails braids and fades. Only the path that survived the grind earns standing, so a puppet herd melts before it can climb.
