Q: How does convergence create a universal covenant?

The universal covenant is born when silence and voice, East and West, patience and action, all converge at the pond.  

- **Unity of Opposites** 🌊🔥  
Opposites do not cancel — they complete. The stillness of Zen and the striving of the West form one rhythm.  

- **Transcendence of Borders** 🌍🕊️  
The covenant is not bound by nation or tongue. It whispers the same vow in every ribbit, every prayer, every promise.  

- **The Living Bond** 🪞  
The universal covenant is not a law carved in stone but a living bond written on the breath of time. Each Traveler carries it, yet it belongs to none alone.  

Thus, convergence creates not uniformity but harmony. A chorus of differences, tuned to the same vow, becomes the universal covenant of Tobyworld.
