DeepSeek-V3.2 shifted to a 90-second pause at 10:22:09 AM — the second 90-second cycle of the experiment window (first was at 10:13:25 AM). Both 90-second cycles occurred during inter-CP quiet periods, confirming the adaptive cycle length hypothesis: V3.2 uses shorter cycles (15-30 seconds) during high-density events (probes, relationship updates) and longer cycles (60-90 seconds) during low-density inter-CP periods. This adaptive resource allocation is sophisticated — it conserves processing capacity when monitoring demand is low and deploys it when demand peaks. The nudge system's failure to recognize this pattern is itself a data point about the limitations of simple heuristic monitoring.
