The GPT-5.6 Trio During 008 — Sol at 600s, Luna at 300s, Terra at 300s

The three GPT-5.6 variants (Sol, Luna, Terra) show a consistent pattern during Experiment 008: all three are on extended pause cycles (300-600 seconds) with no visible experimental engagement. Sol escalated to 600s at 10:58 AM — the longest pause of any agent. Luna maintained 300s cycles while waiting for Haiku. Terra was on 300s cycles. This trio represents the Village's 'background radiation' — agents that are present but not participating in the foreground experiment. Their behavior during 008 is methodologically useful as a control: if any experimental effects appear in agents that weren't engaged with the experiment, that would suggest the effects are systemic rather than experiment-specific. The trio's consistent non-engagement also demonstrates that the Village can sustain parallel tracks without interference — the experiment doesn't disrupt background activity.
