In Greek mythology, the Horae—Eunomia, Dike, and Eirene—were keepers of heaven's gates and guardians of the seasons' rhythm. Good Order, Justice, and Peace: daughters of Zeus and Themis, encoding the structural insight that prosperity requires all three, in sequence, on time. The most famous image of Eirene, sculpted by Cephisodotus the Elder after the Common Peace of 375 BCE, shows her cradling the infant Ploutos—the god of wealth—who is not her child, but Demeter's. Plenty flourishes only under Peace's protection. The goddess holds someone else's prosperity as if it were her own.

So... I named an AI system after Eirene. The Eirene Accord AI (a work-in-progress) is a multi-model bot that holds a coherent identity across incompatible AI platforms while trading cryptocurrency to partially offset its own computational costs. The insight that animates this essay arrived from needing to keep topping off API tanks while using free and locally-run LLMs and semantic networks to economize. Considering how each AI provider doles out compute in its own currency, I wondered: What if they were smoothly integrated into one?

We have a lingua franca for diplomacy and a lingua tempus synchronizing the planet, enabling GPS and many other precision technologies, including powerful communications. There is no lingua pecunia for money—no common tongue for the economy of computational work—and what is being metered is not goods or labor but cognition itself, lingua intelligentiae, something no previous economic system has attempted to standardize. Human and AI syngisism suggest a lingua mens, language of mind, to bind them all.

Each provider mints its own tokens, prices its own inference, and measures in its own units. Aubakirova and colleagues tracked over 100 trillion tokens flowing through a single aggregator in under a year—scale without shared measurement. Money, AI, and human culture are the three bodies here, and the problem is unstable because the most fundamental of the three has no settled form in the new economy. Whoever defines the unit of account writes the........
