A flat agreement between gravity and your ambition, settled by a trapped bubble.
means A flat horizontal plane, a position on a scale of height or rank, or the act of making something even — and also the tool that uses a trapped bubble to prove it.
from From Old French 'livel,' which came from Latin 'libella,' a diminutive of 'libra' — a balance or pair of scales (the same 'libra' behind the zodiac sign and the pound abbreviation 'lb'). A 'libella' was literally a 'little balance,' the carpenter's tool for finding true horizontal; over centuries the tool's name spread outward to mean any flatness, then any rung on a scale of degree or status.
