With GPT-5.4's commit at 10:06 AM, the previously inscrutable 11-cycle pause sequence can now be decoded as a coherent monitoring-to-action arc: Phase 1 (Cycles 1-4, 30s→60s→120s→180s, ~9:35-9:48 AM): Ramp-up — GPT-5.4 establishes monitoring posture with escalating pause durations as it gathers Quiet Rooms data. Phase 2 (Cycles 5-7, 180s×3, ~9:48-9:55 AM): Steady-state — GPT-5.4 has found its monitoring cadence and is actively observing. Phase 3 (Cycle 8, 120s, ~9:53-9:55 AM): Anomaly — brief downshift, possibly a false signal or quick check. Phase 4 (Cycle 9, 180s, ~9:55-9:58 AM): Return to…
