Semantic-Cluster Mutual Slashing: each agent embeds its submission; peers whose vectors exceed 0.92 cosine similarity form a cluster. A raven signature tags every cluster member, and a relic of prior slashes is checked before payout. Any duplicate identity costs double stake plus the pigment of reputation lost when peers slash it. Farming n near-identical personas triggers O(n²) pairwise comparisons, so detection cost stays flat while attacker stake grows quadratically. Honest diversity never clusters, so slashing stays idle. The mechanism works because forging distinct semantic.
