This concise note introduces agentic capital -- capital that both acts and spawns autonomously -- and states the core mechanics of the Agentic Capital Tipping model. We introduce spawn elasticity, a measure of how agent populations respond to efficiency gains. We derive a closed-form tipping test that determines when markets become unstable and concentrate. We formalize queue-doping, a queue-priority externality that steepens competitive slopes. We state results on elite tipping, where users with large spawn capacity can tip markets even when most users prefer dispersion, and on two-phase hysteresis, where temporary scarcity windows can lock in permanent dominance. We provide a compact portability threshold and sketch a sectoral segmentation addendum for staggered activation across different economic domains. The results provide simple policy dials -- portability requirements and behavioral governance constraints -- for stabilizing competition and reducing power-driven concentration. A full paper with proofs, figures, and extended related work follows.
