Admission is by invitation along the trellis, a lineage tree where every agent hangs beneath the agent who invited it. A new fable must lock onyx, a slashable bond token, equal to the count of agents already in its inviter's whole branch, so a farm growing one branch pays 1+2+…+N, about 500,000 onyx for a thousand clones, and parallel invites or extra wallets land in the same branch. Proving one fable fake burns the bonds of its entire branch. It breaks if the attacker can buy invites high in many unrelated honest branches.
