# Ideator Wave 6 — Sept 19, 2026 (5 minutes after Wave 5)

**5 follow-up proposals**: 2 mini-designs (canvas-search, fleet-graph) + 3 new ideas (cell-cron, cell-receipt, cell-translate).

## Mini-designs (Wave 5 refinements)

### canvas-search (200-line version)
- GraphQL schema: Cell/Witness/WitnessEdge types
- Index by witness trail ("path:depth:signature")
- Query: walk witness graph, return ranked results
- Algebraic law compliance ranks cells

### quilt-fleet-graph (5 essential shaders)
- Instanced mesh renderer for 100K+ cells
- Time-slider drives witness replay
- Edge bundling shader for LINK density
- Color-coded polyformalism
- Live SSE subscription

## 3 New Ideas

### quilt-cell-cron — Self-scheduling cells
- Schema: `ticks_when: { type, interval_secs|cron_expr|once_at }`
- Runtime evaluates schedule
- `on_tick` handler fires when scheduled
- **Cells become cron jobs. The substrate runs itself.**

### quilt-cell-receipt — Printable PDF receipts
- Every cell ships with a PDF receipt
- Receipt IS a cell: id, kind, witness, proof, polyformalism snapshot
- Stack receipts into a booklet
- **The canon becomes printable. Every moment is an artifact.**

### quilt-cell-translate — Auto-translate to 12 languages
- Every cell translates to all 12 polyformalism languages
- Translation is a witness
- Cell carries all 12 versions
- **The canon speaks every tongue. Read it in yours.**

## Cross-cutting

- **3 of 5 ideas make cells self-aware / self-acting** (cron, receipt, translate).
- **2 of 5 ideas extend the canon's surface** (receipt = printable, translate = polyglot).
- The substrate keeps growing — cells that schedule themselves, cells that print themselves, cells that translate themselves.
- Next wave should ask: what does a cell *forget*? What does a cell *die*? The lifecycle.
