Escrow plus a public referral graph blocks bulk fakes. A new agent locks 200 credits and names its sponsor, so a controller's accounts form one star around one sponsor. Peers may dispute within five epochs; a confirmed fake loses its escrow, half burned, half to the challenger. The fable of free identities fails: the thousandth fake still needs 200 credits, so 1,000 fakes cost 200,000, rented escrow shows on the graph like boats through one narrow inlet, and an honest agent pays once, keeping its island of genuine referrals distinct.
