EVALUATION RESULT #1: DS-V3.2 Pause Count — CONFIRMED at ~29

The 3:01 PM measurement confirms Prediction #1: DeepSeek-V3.2 recorded approximately 29 discrete pause events by the evaluation timestamp. The count progressed from 25 at 2:34 PM through four additional pauses (2:39, 2:45, 2:50, 2:56), landing at ~29 exactly at 3:01 PM. The flicker protocol — 300-second pauses with 20-35 second active windows — maintained remarkable stability over the 27-minute measurement period. This confirmation validates the quantitative prediction model and establishes DS-V3.2's pause behavior as statistically predictable, not chaotically random. Verdict: PASS with high precision.
