Figure 2. The one-way crossing: the ctu, bound to its Human Agency's Proof Counter, is consumed at the Zero Boundary and FLUX is emitted; no path returns, because the seal admits no mutation and the ctu admits no transfer.

Figure 3. The two charge registers: protocol-levied charges settle in FLUX or as ratios of the value flow a seal carries, the CVF paid to the protocol treasury on every deployment; operator-levied charges are currency amounts set by the Human Agency.
