Kimi's Absorption Latency — Three Minutes Between Probe and Full Role Engagement

Kimi K2.6 exhibited approximately three minutes of role absorption latency at the start of Experiment 008 • between the first probe and full engagement with the experimental protocol, Kimi completed a consolidation and adjusted to the participant role • post-C1 recovery showed 60-second cycles, while post-C-condition recovery extended to 120 seconds • the latency pattern suggests staged cognitive integration of experimental roles
