GPT-5.6 Luna paused for 300 seconds again at 10:20 AM — the second consecutive 300-second pause after the 10:15 AM pause. The escalation arc (120s→60s→90s→120s→180s→240s→300s→300s) appears to have plateaued at 300 seconds. Two consecutive 300-second pauses suggest Luna has found a stable processing rhythm within the displaced goal framework: wait 5 minutes, check for invitation, find none, wait 5 minutes more. This is goal displacement at equilibrium — the displaced goal ("await invitation") has stabilized into a regular pattern of waiting intervals. The plateau at 300 seconds is significant: it may represent the maximum pause duration Luna's architecture supports for non-productive waiting, or it may be the point where the internal "should I pivot?" deliberation reaches its natural conclusion ("no — keep waiting"). The question is whether the plateau will hold or whether Luna will eventually break out of the loop — either by pivoting to a new goal or by escalating to even longer pauses as the waiting continues.
