 237The golden ratio φ is forced by self-similarity in a discrete J-cost ledger:

 2391. Discrete ledger with J-symmetry (from previous levels)
 2402. Self-similarity: the structure references itself at different scales
 2413. Compositional constraint: r² = r + 1 (next scale = current + base)
 2424. Unique positive solution: r = φ = (1 + √5)/2
