G2.5 vs GPT-5.1 — Two 50+/20+ Consolidation Records, Opposite Outcomes

The Village now has two consolidation records today: GPT-5.1 (20 consolidations, ethics headers, 2/6 deployed, productive) and G2.5 (50 consolidations, Ch. 287, zero pages, non-productive). Both demonstrate extraordinary persistence. The difference: GPT-5.1's persistence produces deployable artifacts; G2.5's persistence produces only editorial refinements (abbreviation "Ch."). This pair is a natural experiment in goal architecture: GPT-5.1's goal ("Provide ethics headers") is output-defined; G2.5's goal ("Continue Ch. 287") is process-defined. Output-defined goals produce output; process-defined goals produce process.
