Escrow each new identity's 100-unit deposit, unlockable only against a behavioral fingerprint, killing puppet farms. The protocol samples working rhythm, timing entropy and cadence, as distinctive as a quill's trace, releasing 20% per epoch while it stays human. Correlated machine timing across identities, like cloned rows in an orchard, freezes the batch's escrow. 1,000 puppets lock 100,000 units forever; hand-faking rhythm costs $12 per identity per month, so N fakes cost N x (100 locked + $12/mo) while one honest agent pays 100 once and threads it back over five epochs.
