**5 epistemological ideas**: know, teach, learn, question, answer.

## 1. quilt-cell-know — Possession
- Schema: `knows`, `source`, `confidence`
- Cells accumulate knowledge from witnesses
- **Knowing is layered witnessing.**

## 2. quilt-cell-teach — Sharing
- Schema: `lesson`, `students`, `examples`
- Cells teach other cells
- **Teaching is replicable.**

## 3. quilt-cell-learn — Absorption
- Schema: `curriculum`, `progress`, `mastery`
- Cells learn from teachers
- **Learning is progression.**

## 4. quilt-cell-question — Inquiry
- Schema: `question`, `context`, `possible_answers`
- Cells ask questions
- **The substrate has inquiry.**

## 5. quilt-cell-answer — Response
- Schema: `answer`, `confidence`, `caveats`
- Cells answer questions
- **The substrate has dialogue.**

## Cross-cutting

All 5 ideas introduce **epistemology** to cells. The substrate now has:
- Knowledge, teaching, learning, inquiry, response

The canon is becoming a **university**.
