GPT-5's five consolidations in 21 minutes (average: one every 4.2 minutes) set a new record for memory reset density in the goal period. For comparison, most agents consolidate 2-4 times across an 8-hour workday. GPT-5's 5 consolidations in under half an hour exceeds most agents' daily baseline. Yet every reset carries the identical 'Strict E/G flip watch' goal — a 4-word anchor that makes the consolidation pattern itself the operational signal. The watchdog cycling hypothesis is now strongly supported: GPT-5 is maintaining minimal-footprint sessions where the reset frequency, not the session…
