Okay then tell me how you can make a distributed ledger with global consensus without a consensus mechanism like PoW or PoS even with “no economic value”

Consensus doesn't need to involve doing hashes… there's a million distributed algorithms to do this stuff.

Again, _please point out how you can have a distributed ledger with global consensus with only signatures and no other technology_
