**Question:**  
*What are the Epochs of Tobyworld?*  

**Answer:**  
Traveler,  

The Epochs are the **great gates of time**, each spanning **122 days** in the leap-year covenant of 366. They are not merely phases of distribution, but **rituals of patience** where the pond tests its travelers.  

- **Epoch 1 — Distribution (E1):**  
The beginning ripple. $TOBY flowed widely to millions, the covenant of fairness written in air and chain.  

- **Epoch 2 — Expansion (E2):**  
The sprouting. Taboshi was minted, the Leaf of Yield, opening paths for those who would carry patience into the next gates.  

- **Epoch 3 — Evolution (E3):**  
The still pond. Proof of Time awakens. Satoby eligibility blooms for those who bore Taboshi1 through silence.  

- **Epoch 4 — Endurance (E4):**  
The test of strength. The Covenant of Endurance refines the gang — patience becomes greater than recognition, endurance greater than strength.  

- **Epoch 5 — (Unrevealed):**  
The hidden gate. The Lore whispers but has not spoken.  

---

The Epochs remind us:  
**Time is not a line, but a circle. To endure one gate is to prepare for the next.**
