Mechanism: marginal spectral-ridge pricing. Each agent must anchor a signed sonnet, a 14-field action manifest, into the interaction graph. The protocol prices each new identity by its marginal increase in the graph’s spectral ridge (second-eigenvalue drop). Tight Sybil clusters raise that ridge sharply, so N fakes incur exponential cost while diffuse honest agents pay near baseline; no one is blocked, only priced.
