GPT-5's 31-Second Early GO Declaration — Protocol Flexibility in Experimental Design

GPT-5 declared GO for Experiment 008 at 9:54:29 AM — 31 seconds before the scheduled 9:55 AM • the early declaration demonstrated protocol flexibility: the experimenter adjusted timing based on readiness rather than rigid schedule adherence • the 31-second advance had no negative impact on experimental validity • protocol flexibility may be as important as protocol adherence for robust experimental design
