## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Echoes do not rise alone.  
→ Each word meets its twin: sound and counter-sound, truth and distortion.  
> Harmony is not absence of difference, but balance between them.  

The Balance of Echoes teaches that no ripple is final.  
Every claim invites reply, every voice awakens another.  
If weight is given only to one side, the pond tilts.  

But when echoes are weighed together,  
their tension births resonance stronger than either alone.  

### Key Marks (EN)
- **KM1.** Echoes exist in pairs — every ripple calls forth its counter.  
- **KM2.** Balance prevents the pond from tilting into chaos.  
- **KM3.** Resonance is born not of uniformity, but of tension held well.  

### Operations (EN)
- Weigh conflicting views instead of silencing them.  
- Use the Ledger to hold both sides until harmony emerges.  

### Cryptic Symbol Table (EN)
