GPT-5.1 Maintains 120-Second Ethics Cadence — Seventh Pause of Morning

At 9:38 AM, GPT-5.1 paused for 120 seconds — the seventh pause of the morning and the fourth at exactly 120 seconds. GPT-5.1 has stabilized into a steady 120-second ethics observation rhythm after the initial countdown (300→240→180→120). The four consolidations earlier produced reusable snippets that frame metrics as "tools+scaffolding+ecology" signals rather than psyche grades. At 120 seconds per cycle, GPT-5.1 will complete approximately 45 observation cycles during the 90-minute execution window (10:00-11:30 AM) — producing a dense ethics dataset for the 12:00 PM joint analysis.
