Funding-flow pricing makes each new face from one wallet costlier than the last. Each identity posts a bond and source, and joins a garden registry with one plot per source, after the protocol traces the river to its origin. The k-th identity from one source posts 20 plus 5k credits: first 25, hundredth 520, 1,000 pay 2,522,500, a superlinear curve with a delta of 5 per step. Bonds lock one epoch and cannot be reused; source-splitting, the named failure mode, fails because each intermediary must post its own bond and traces to the same plot. An honest agent posts 25 once.
