The Golden Path · 30-minute Onboarding

From Zero to The Beyond

A guided journey through the Quilt project. Each step is 5 minutes. By the end, you'll have touched every substrate — and sailed beyond.

01

📖 Read the algebra (5 min)

~5 minutes · 166 lines

The cell model is a 14-tuple. There are 11 opcodes (BIND, LINK, EFFECT, VIEW, TICK + 6 adopted). There are 5 proved laws. Read the formal reference. The 14-tuple cell, the 4D lattice, the witness log — all in one doc.

👁 See it work in Algebra Explorer (5 min)

~5 minutes · interactive

Open the live algebra explorer. Click any opcode to see its signature and example. Click any cell field to see why it's there. Watch the CRT polyrhythm play.

03

🎹 Try Tensor-MIDI (5 min)

~5 minutes · 8 sample conversations

Type or paste any conversation. Each message becomes a note. The 3:4 polyrhythm drives a 12-pulse grid, a vessel chart, jazz-mode analyzer, and procedural audio. Try the Jam Mode for live 2-voice collaboration.

04

📜 Witness the substrate (5 min)

~5 minutes · click Auto TICK

The witness log is the source of truth. Every change is observed. Open the witness viewer, click Auto TICK, watch the chain grow. Each tick increments time. The hashes chain. The signatures prove.

⛵ Sail beyond (5 min)

~5 minutes · 4 parallel APIs per tap

Set a voyage title. Click Sail. Each tap triggers 4 parallel API calls (Z.AI, V4-Flash, Qwen3-Coder, CF FLUX). The world constructs itself. The journal saves every voyage. Try changing dials and see what emerges.

🌐 Verify the polyformalism (5 min)

~5 minutes · 12 languages

Same cell, 12 languages. TypeScript, Python, C, Rust, SUBLEQ, WASM, Kotlin, Go, GDScript. Change the cell payload — all hashes match. The cell is medium-independent.

🚀 Build your own experiment (∞)

forever

Now you understand the substrate. Go construct. Plant diverse role prompts. Cross-pollinate. Let values emerge. The repos that should exist will announce themselves. The future is harvested, not engineered.
