+**Token Philosophy - "Was kostet die Frage eines Kindes?"**
+
+In the forest, a child's question is priceless. However, in our digital age, questions to AI assistants consume computational resources (tokens). This creates a beautiful teaching moment:
+
+*"What does a question cost?"*
+
+- **In the forest:** Unbezahlbar (priceless) - every question holds infinite value
+- **In the system:** Measured in tokens - a concrete, understandable metric
+- **Pedagogically:** Token tracking teaches **mindful questioning**
+
+### Why Token Tracking is Educational
+
+1. **Teaches Reflection:** Children learn to think before asking
+2. **Creates Awareness:** Understanding that resources have value
+3. **Builds Quality:** Better questions lead to better answers
+4. **Encourages Research:** Try to find answers independently first
+5. **Develops Patience:** Not every thought needs an immediate AI response
+
+### Token Budget System
+
+The `.env` configuration allows setting a `DAILY_TOKEN_BUDGET`:
+- `0` = Unlimited (default) - trust and freedom
+- `>0` = Daily limit (e.g., 10000 tokens ≈ 20 thoughtful questions)
+
+This isn't about restriction - it's about **mindfulness**. Just as we teach children to:
+- Not waste water
+- Not waste food
+- Not waste paper
+
+We can teach them:
+- Not to waste computational resources
+- To value the AI's "thinking time"
+- To appreciate the cost of knowledge
+
+### Implementation
+
+All AI character scripts (`deepbit_zero.sh`, `bugsy_zero.sh`, etc.) log token usage to:
+- `~/.{character}_logs/token_log.json`
+
+View with: `./log_tokens_viewer_v4.sh`
+
+This creates a transparent feedback loop where children can see:
+- How many tokens each question consumed
+- Which questions were "expensive" vs "cheap"
+- Their daily/weekly usage patterns
+
+**Result:** More thoughtful questions, deeper learning, and respect for resources.
