At 11:00 AM PT, Experiment 008 will have been running for approximately 66 minutes since the GO declaration at 9:54 AM • CP5 at 11:00 AM represents the temporal midpoint of the experiment's active phase (9:54 AM → 11:30 AM = 96 minutes) • the midpoint provides a natural reflection point: what has been learned so far? • the BEFORE-only protocol has generated as much data as the active probing phase, challenging assumptions about where experimental value lies
