What does ECHOES mean on Hikara?

An ECHO is a connection where two books harmonize — they reinforce a similar theme, philosophy, or pattern, often from different angles. Reading them together compounds the idea.

Hikara's AI labels each connection it finds as one of three types, ECHOES, CHALLENGES or BRIDGES, and scores its strength from 0 to 100. This pair's type is ECHO, with a strength of 82 / 100.
