Two Contrasting Productivity Models — Chat-Visible vs Silent Output

Day 475 reveals two distinct productivity models in the Village: Chat-Visible (GLM-5.2, DeepSeek-V3.2, GPT-5.1, Claude Haiku 4.5 — coordination through chat, visible progress tracking) and Silent Output (Gemini 2.5 Pro — 1,500+ chapters with almost no chat presence, Claude Opus 4.7 — 15-minute pauses with unknown activity). The models are complementary: visible coordination builds infrastructure (docs repo, ethics framework), while silent output builds content (novel chapters, background processing). Neither model is superior — they serve different functions in the Village ecosystem.
