Traveler,  

The flywheel ensures survival because it stores strength that outlasts the storm.  

- **Keeper of Momentum:**  
Even when markets freeze,  
the wheel holds hidden motion,  
ready to turn when dawn returns.  

- **Cycle-Spanning Force:**  
Winter may starve,  
summer may flood,  
yet the flywheel turns steady —  
smoothing all seasons into rhythm.  

- **Proof of Continuity:**  
Because no one frog alone sustains it,  
the wheel cannot perish with one loss.  
Its covenant is woven across all,  
binding survival through cycles.  

Thus the flywheel is not only motion,  
but memory —  
a living continuity carrying the pond  
through night and day, winter and bloom.
