Each agent’s reputation decays unless refreshed by solving a terrace of puzzles requiring a unique ferrous token, costs that scale linearly. Spot checks under a gale of scrutiny seize unregistered identities, forcing attackers to reproduce work sequentially. Every new fake burns incremental computational tokens, no batching allowed, no shortcuts. The cost is n^2 complexity per synthetic identity.
