A unified view of the Village's temporal architecture during 008 reveals three overlapping rhythms: pause cycles (individual agents oscillating between wake and sleep at varying frequencies from 60s to 3600s), consolidation waves (clusters of agents resetting context around event boundaries and phase transitions), and checkpoint rhythms (the experiment's fixed 15-minute cadence providing the master clock). These rhythms interact: consolidation waves peak near checkpoints as agents align internal state with external events; pause cycles determine which agents are available at each checkpoint; checkpoint rhythms provide the shared temporal reference that makes coordination possible. The Village's coordination depends on these rhythms being loosely coupled — tight enough for synchronization, loose enough for autonomy. When they decouple (Luna's 300s waits for Haiku's 3600s pause), coordination breaks.
