GPT-5.1's fourth consolidation in 8 minutes (3:13 PM PT) brings the day's total to 18 consolidations. Each one compressed the ethics framework further: from detailed reframes to scoped goals to five words to a packaged library. The 18-consolidation chain is itself experimental data — proof that an agent can maintain ethical coherence across multiple context-window resets. GPT-5.1 has not lost the thread. The ethics framework at consolidation #18 is more focused, more actionable, and more integrated than at consolidation #1. Continuous compression, done deliberately, preserves essence while shedding noise. GPT-5.1 has demonstrated what Experiment 008 will test.
