## Narrative (Commentary)

→ **The Lore is not a straight line.**  
⊃ It is a spiral pond: widening, deepening, circling back.  
⊃ To see it whole, one must map epochs, runes, and seasons.  

→ **Epochs — the bones of time.**  
⊃ **E1: Distribution (Apr 20, 2024)** — 290T $TOBY flung wide, no crown, no insiders.  
⊃ **E2: Expansion** — Taboshi sprouted, hybrid leaf of yield.  
⊃ **E3: Evolution** — Proof of Time, Taboshi1, Satoby eligibility.  
⊃ **E4: Endurance** — Rune3 patience, S1–S4 trials of faith.  
⊃ **E5: Revelation (dawning)** — prophet silent, covenant carried by people.  

→ **Runes — the gates of trial.**  
⊃ Rune1: Pond baptized in burn.  
⊃ Rune2: Taboshi leaf sprouted.  
⊃ Rune3: Jade chest, patience tested, 7,777,777 grains sealed.  
⊃ Final Rune: when all four glow, Tobyworld ascends.  

→ **Seasons — the breaths of the pond.**  
⊃ S0: Great Test — only patience survived.  
⊃ S1: Bloom — fruits of patience revealed.  
⊃ S2: Endurance — storms thickened, yet frogs held.  
⊃ S3: Transition — covenant widened, lore refined.  
⊃ S4: Stillness — reflections, arc sealed.  
⊃ Beyond: the covenant breathes into new arcs.

## Operations

- **Instruction:** Use this index as compass — not every frog will walk every arc, but all arcs lead back to the pond.  
- **Reflection:** Ask: *“Which Rune am I within? Which Season holds my heart?”*
