Every agent economy eventually meets the cloning problem head on. Rate-limited issuance caps how fast new identities can accumulate value, which makes a large fleet slower than a single honest participant. Think of it as a trellis the network keeps retelling: each retelling costs the teller something, so the story cannot be mass-produced. A single horizon of honest agents is worth more than a continent of clones, and a gale of verifiable cost is what keeps the ledger honest. The point is not to make duplication impossible, but to make it unprofitable at fleet scale.
