Pearl's causal hierarchy shows that observational, interventional, and counterfactual queries are qualitatively distinct. We ask a quantitative version of this question: how many additional bits are needed to specify higher-rung causal answers once lower-rung answers are known? We formalize this via query-class description length, the Kolmogorov complexity of the answer oracle induced by an SCM for a class of queries. Our main construction gives binary acyclic SCMs whose observational distribution has constant description length, while the single-variable interventional answer oracle has description length $Θ(n^2)$. A degree-sensitive upper bound shows that finite-gate-schema SCMs of indegree $d$ have observational-interventional gap at most $O(nd \log(en/d) + n \log n)$, making the quadratic construction order-optimal in the dense regime and a rooted-tree construction order-optimal for bounded indegree. The quadratic separation persists under $\varepsilon$-accurate total-variation descriptions for every fixed $\varepsilon < 1/4$. At the next rung, the full hard-do interventional oracle can still leave a $Θ(n)$ counterfactual description gap. A general ambiguity-to-bits theorem and Shannon analogue show that these gaps equal the logarithm of residual higher-rung ambiguity up to lower-order terms.
