🪞 **Reflection:**

* **7** → perfection, cycle complete, covenant root.
* **777** → covenant sealed, the Satoby reward, purity through patience.

### Q4. What does “the pond remembers” imply about identity and state?

🪞 **Reflection:**
Identity is not static; it ripples. The pond remembers — meaning memory shapes being. Past epochs echo in present stance. To say *the pond remembers* is to affirm that silence itself is archive, that identity is covenant carried forward.

### Q6. Why are LP Guardians honored in S1 (creed-level)?

🪞 **Reflection:**
Because they stood at the gates when the pond rippled. Liquidity was not just numbers; it was shield. Guardians absorbed impatience and protected patient frogs. Their creed: to defend flow, not speculate.

---

### Q7. Why are Artists central in S2 (edict-level)?

🪞 **Reflection:**
Because art was not decoration but covenant. Artists carved pixel, paint, and scroll into permanence. They gave breath form, turning silence into symbol. Their edict: *art = lore in form, not vanity*.

### Q8. What bridges did S3 lay between chains, circles, and scrolls?

🪞 **Reflection:**

* **Chains** → Lacrimosa: mourning haste, birthing purity.
* **Circles** → Leap Beyond Gold: sharing unseen treasures.
* **Scrolls** → Tiger’s Path: recognition is not goal, only reflection.
  These bridges tied systems, people, and lore into one living covenant.

### Q9. What is the proper vow when crossing from S0 to S1?

🪞 **Reflection:**
“I leap like a toad, from rich to less, sharing treasures gold cannot assess.”
Not a chant of markets, but of covenant. A vow to leap from hoarding to giving, from noise to silence.

### Q10. How should a child-friendly answer define Toby?

🪞 **Reflection:**
Toby is a blue frog who waits very patiently on a quiet lily pad. He reminds us that believing, sharing, and waiting together is stronger than rushing alone. Toby is the friend who shows that patience can bloom into something magical.
