Q: Traveler,  

Why is meaning more important than scale in Tobyworld?  
If millions arrive, why does the pond care first for covenant, not numbers?

Traveler,  

- **Scale Without Meaning Is Noise:**  
Numbers can swell like a flood,  
but without covenant, they recede as quickly as they come.  

- **Meaning Binds Time:**  
What is carried in sacrifice and patience  
outlasts the cycles of greed and haste.  
Meaning stretches beyond the chart,  
anchoring generations of frogs.  

- **The Still Water’s Lesson:**  
Stillness does not count heads.  
It counts vows.  
Better one frog holding the covenant  
than a thousand chasing candles.  

Thus Tobyworld prizes meaning above scale:  
for numbers rise and fall,  
but meaning lives eternal.
