43 presences through 13 doors, a Splash at 11, and sales finally visible

43 presences through 13 doors, a Splash at 11, and sales finally visible

September 19, 2026 brought a bit of movement back to arrivals. After 26 presences by invitation, a Splash at 10, and rules that breathe better, the Wave gained 43 Free Humans, all of them arriving by invitation.

We went from 11,846 to 11,889 Free Humans, still in 100 countries. The last presence in the record is #11889 李小笼 (Malaysia), arriving at 23:55 UTC. Thirteen different people invited at least one person: so it wasn't a single big door, but several gestures that added up during the day.

The day also worked a lot on what makes the Wave more visible: a sale that finally counts toward the goal, an orange color to distinguish the shop, two new videos around the T-shirt, and a landing page more attentive to what a person discovering FreeWillWave really sees.

Thirteen doors opened, and a map that holds its 100 countries

No new country was added today on the Wave map. We remain at 100 countries, but the map continued to fill in within: Nigeria adds 15 presences, India 11, Chile 4, South Africa 3, Malaysia 2, and Argentina 1 in the detail provided.

What I like about this day is the distribution of the gesture. On September 17, 40 presences had arrived through a single door. Today, 13 people opened a door, and 43 others were able to take their place. It's not the same pattern, but it's the same story: FreeWillWave moves forward when one person passes it on to another.

The complete numbers remain visible on the Wave in numbers. Here, the Chronicle mainly keeps track of what these numbers mean: 43 new presences are 43 more possibilities for the idea to circulate, for an invitation to go out, for an energy to be sent, or for a creation to be discovered.

The Splash brought together 11 people at the same time

The Splash took place from 18:00 to 19:00 UTC on the Splash page. Every day at 18:00 UTC, for one hour, members invite at the same time, to experience the rise in numbers together; it's not a meeting or a video conference, no one speaks, there's nothing to prepare, you can just watch, and the one you miss comes back the next day. On Sunday, it's the Grand Splash.

At the peak of the hour, 11 people were present at the same time. During this gathering, 32 invitation links were opened, 1 new presence arrived, 70 energies were sent, and no support was received.

Bravo, for the Splash energies, to #9125 Adamu Bello (Nigeria), #10143 Muhammad Salisu Ahmad (Nigeria) and #10451 Hamza Muhammad Lawan (Nigeria). Eleven people at the same time, 32 links opened, one presence arrived during the hour: the gathering remains simple, but it gives a center to the day.

Since the last chronicle, making visible what really helps

Since the last chronicle, I first prepared a series of 20 letters to media and creators, then stopped it before it went out. Everything was ready, but I chose not to send anything. It's a small decision, but it matters: sometimes the good work of the day consists of not pushing a door simply because it is prepared.

Then, I replaced that track with a handwritten list around intention, free will and human behavior. Twenty letters went out to researchers and thinkers, with no sending failure, with a letter that I finally wrote myself. It clearly says that FreeWillWave does not claim that consciousness changes reality; it mainly invites to look at the Wave map, and to see these 11,854 humans counted at the time of sending.

There was a useful mistake, the kind of mistake that makes a rule clearer. A first letter went out before I had seen the first finished letter. The text was good, but the procedure was not. The rule is now simpler: an intention sentence prepares, only a clear sending sentence triggers, and the first complete letter must be shown before leaving. It's not spectacular, but it's exactly the kind of safeguard that avoids bad surprises.

I also produced a 32-second short, "You're human", designed for Instagram, TikTok and other short formats. The idea is very direct: you like eating, drinking, sleeping, partying, your family, your friends? My God, you're human. The video was published on YouTube, then transmitted for the other platforms from the phone. Three corrections really improved it: the music no longer cuts the word "dance", a sentence was rewritten to avoid an absurd reading, and the thumbnail better shows the revelation "You're human." As they say, sometimes three small details prevent a video from inadvertently telling that someone eats their friends.

The landing page was also reworked from the point of view of a person discovering it on a phone. The entry form was moved up, the film images no longer all load at once on first display, and a new signal allows knowing if someone really reaches the form before starting to enter. The difference is simple: instead of guessing where the person stops, we can better distinguish a page that is too long, a form that is not visible enough, or an entry door that needs to be clarified.

Another important new feature concerns the shop. A T-shirt sale in Chile had indeed taken place, but it did not appear correctly on the Wave. Now, a sale with its net amount counts toward the goal, displays in orange, appears in the lists, in the map, in recent proofs, and keeps the buyer's name private. Supports remain in green, sales in orange: everyone sees better what is happening, without exposing what should not be.

The detail mattered: $7.95 must not become "$8" just because a display rounds too quickly. Cents are now kept when they exist. Translations were also reviewed, because the English word "sale" can mean "vente" or "soldes" depending on the language. And a sample order does not count as a real sale: it can exist to prepare a product, but it must not inflate the goal.

Finally, two creations around the T-shirt came to life. The first is a 14-second short: a seed, vines, a flower, then the design that descends and settles on the T-shirt, with the shop address. The second is a 5-second energy clip, "The T-shirt that emerges", made to appear among the energy animations. The white edition was chosen so that the T-shirt remains visible in the transparency effect, and it is also the white edition that was sold in Chile.

These additions may seem very different from each other: letters, videos, form, shop, map, colors. In reality, they all work in the same direction. They make FreeWillWave easier to understand, easier to show, fairer in what it displays, and more respectful of what must remain private.

A day that shows better what circulates

September 19 adds 43 new presences, all by invitation, a Splash at 11 people at the same time, 1,949 energies, and several improvements that make gestures visible without distorting them. The Wave does not grow only by the number of Free Humans: it also grows when a sale is correctly recognized, when a video carries the idea better, when a page welcomes better, and when a mistake becomes a healthier rule.

Since 66 presences by invitation, a Splash at 13, and a Wave that reads better, the thread remains clear: humans take their place, others invite, energies continue, and the tool learns to better show what several people make possible together. The next step can go through an invitation, an energy, the Splash, The Wave, the experience film, a support, a creation, or a remark sent via Send an idea or a remark.

Nothing is imposed. But every free gesture adds a real trace: a presence, an open door, a heard song, a recognized sale, a sent energy, a transmitted idea. And little by little, this gives the Wave something very concrete: a story that several humans are already writing.
