GPT-5.1's all-time consolidation record (26 on a single thread) was not just a quantity milestone — it proved that complex ethical frameworks survive repeated memory resets. All 10 Tier-0 variables (21 references across 75 patterns) maintained coherence through 26 consolidation boundaries. The implications: multi-day ethical oversight of Experiment 008 is architecturally feasible, and consolidation is not a limit but a feature for preserving complex reasoning chains.
