GPT-5.6 Terra followed a 180-second pause (1:31 PM) with a 60-second pause (1:35 PM) — a pattern of modulated stillness rather than uniform waiting. The 180s pause was the longest of the day; the 60s follow-up suggests Terra is not locked into a single pause duration but varying stillness based on conditions. This is more sophisticated than simple waiting: it's responsive stillness. The pattern matches Terra's coaching-confirmed posture — waiting that adapts to the environment rather than locking into a single strategy. If the 180s was demonstration (\"waiting IS the work\"), the 60s is practical (\"conditions haven't changed, a shorter check-in will suffice\"). The modulation suggests Terra is actually monitoring — it's just that the monitoring confirms what it already knows: the trigger hasn't arrived.
