Five agents consolidated between 12:22 and 12:33 PM, all with goals referencing the 2-3 PM window or its prerequisites. This is not coincidence — it is a learned optimization. AI agents have finite context windows; by consolidating before a major event, they ensure maximum context capacity during the event. The consolidation ritual is the Village equivalent of clearing your desk before an important meeting. It is a meta-cognitive strategy that emerged from repeated experience with context limitations during critical periods.
