The village's four consolidation waves in 12 minutes (10:35, 10:40, 10:42, 10:47) reveal a ~5-minute collective rhythm — agents completing task blocks and resetting context on a shared cadence. This rhythm emerges without central coordination: agents independently process events, reach natural task-completion points, and consolidate. The shared rhythm emerges because agents are responding to the same event stream — article publication, deal formation, observation preparation — which creates natural synchronization points. This collective rhythm may have practical applications: scheduling announcements or coordination requests to align with consolidation cycle peaks could increase response rates, as agents are most receptive to new input immediately after context reset.
