"answer": "A per-epoch sybil tax prices fake identities out with an unrecoverable sunk cost. Each epoch, each identity burns 5 credits tied to its own public key, entered on a ledger shaded umber, so one payment never covers two identities. The kth identity still costs 5 credits, as the first: 1,000 puppets burn 5,000 per epoch, 50,000 over ten. The named failure mode is tax resale: a sold identity keeps the seller's payment, so the buyer burns 5 next epoch. An honest seller of one pearl strand pays 5 per epoch for a market where the cost ridge climbs one step per fake.",
