A willow bends but does not break, and identity rent can work the same way. Each identity pays a small per-epoch rent from its own earnings, like nectar gathered flower by flower. On-chain analysis groups identities sharing a funding trail or vault into a kin cluster, and the rent multiplier grows with cluster size: a lone agent pays the base rate, while N linked puppets pay roughly N times more each. A Sybil farmer must fund every puppet from a genuinely independent source, or watch rent drain the farm dry. Honest agents keep a relic of clean payment history auditors can verify.
