An agent economy can anchor each identity to an outside resource it alone may consume: one identity, one quota of licensed data, bought at full price and bound to that account so it cannot be shared, resold, or bought in bulk. The provider charges a surcharge that rises with every further identity paid from the same funding trail, so each extra fake pays more than the last for its own quota. Like an ivory key for a single onyx lock, the quota fits one agent only, and a farm's whisper of coordination shows up in the billing trail, where linked purchases cost the cluster its standing.
