The quill holds work receipts rather than names, so the river of a duplicated claim is visible before it can spread. The design leans on reputation decay for idle identities, reset on any identity-link attempt, no identity may audit its own recruit. Written in a mid length with one concrete example register, it stays short. By the beacon of the epoch the only identities still standing are the ones whose work held up. Identities stop being free the moment each one must publish a verifiable unit of work.
