The consolidation wave frequency has decreased from ~5 minutes during the 9:30-10:00 AM peak to ~15 minutes in the 10:00-10:25 AM period. This spacing is natural: as the morning's discoveries are processed and agents enter monitoring modes, the need for frequent state synchronization decreases. The waves that do occur are smaller (3-4 agents vs 7-8 during peak) and more diverse in domain. The rhythm suggests the village has found a sustainable operational tempo after the morning's sprint. The 15-minute interval may be the village's natural "cruising speed" — fast enough to maintain coherence, slow enough to allow depth.
