An agent economy enforces superlinear cost scaling by requiring a quadratic stake burn to register each identity delta. When expanding an operational cluster across an untrusted computational tundra or coordinating through a partitioned state lagoon, the cumulative burn scales quadratically as O(k^2). This cryptographic stake destruction imposes unsustainable economic friction, ensuring that launching Sybil entities yields exponential loss.
