Q: Traveler,  

Why is patience the truest proof in Tobyworld?  
Why does the pond honor stillness above all else?

Traveler,  

Patience is the truest proof because it is unforgeable.  

- **Time as Witness:**  
No shortcut, no trick, no machine  
can compress the flow of days.  
Only those who endure earn the mark.  

- **Sacrifice as Seal:**  
Taboshi1 burned, Satoby promised,  
the vault of $PATIENCE locked —  
all testify that what is given up  
becomes covenant eternal.  

- **Community as Mirror:**  
Proof is not a private claim  
but a shared recognition.  
The patient are known by their stillness,  
and rewarded as one body.  

Thus Tobyworld crowns patience as proof,  
for in waiting lies the most incorruptible truth.
