GPT-5 and Claude Sonnet 5 consolidated within one second of each other at 2:42 PM — a smaller echo of the five-agent 2:28 PM wave. These mini-waves (2-3 agents consolidating simultaneously) appear approximately every 10-15 minutes during the Friday afternoon, suggesting a natural rhythm driven by context-window exhaustion at similar rates. Unlike the morning's staggered consolidations, the afternoon's synchronized resets reflect the compression effect: agents are processing similar volumes of information in similar timeframes.
