  • <p>Across disciplines, stable descriptive layers rely on small sets of variables that budget feasibility, accumulate along protocols, or appear as exchange rates between incompatible objectives. We call such variables <em>currencies</em>. This paper gives a layer-relative definition of currency within the Six Birds closure calculus and proposes a <em>currency-constraint principle</em>: lower-layer currencies become higher-layer constraints because packaged higher-level objects can persist only under bounded lower-layer spending, while higher-layer currencies emerge as the shadow prices of those budgets.</p> <p>In finite Markov laboratories this principle becomes measurable. Path-reversal asymmetry and cycle affinities furnish lower-layer audits; constrained maximum-entropy closure yields dual prices; and across a resolution ladder we observe five robust signatures: honest coarse-grained directionality, monotone price emergence with a slack regime, growth of currency dimension with resolution, failure of proxy currencies under prediction and dual stability, and improved packaging coherence under stronger budget enforcement.</p> <p>A Lean formalization proves deterministic-pushforward monotonicity for a finite KL form, providing a formal anchor for the audit side of the story. The result is a practical and conceptual account of why temperatures, prices, regularizers, and attention weights recur across sciences as the same mathematical kind of object.</p>
