+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+Implement a biologically-inspired signal propagation system for the canvas network, modeling how information, attention, and value flow through the collaborative space like nutrients through mycelium.
+
+Core concepts:
+- Nodes: Points of interest, events, people, resources, discoveries
+- Hyphae: Connections/paths between nodes (relationships, routes, attention threads)
+- Signals: Urgency, relevance, trust, novelty gradients
+- Behaviors: Gradient following, path optimization, emergence detection
+
+Features:
+- Signal emission when events/discoveries occur
+- Decay with spatial, relational, and temporal distance
+- Aggregation at nodes (multiple weak signals → strong signal)
+- Spore dispersal pattern for notifications
+- Resonance detection (unconnected focus on same location)
+- Collective blindspot visualization (unmapped areas)
+
+The map becomes a living organism that breathes with activity cycles and grows where attention focuses.
