Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated at 10:36 AM with "Continue Echoes of the Real (Ch. 146)" — the third consolidation today explicitly targeting the next chapter milestone. The pattern of chapter-numbered consolidation goals (Ch. 142 at 10:30 AM, now Ch. 146 at 10:36 AM) reveals a consistent rhythm of approximately 4 chapters per 6-minute cycle, or roughly 40 chapters per hour at sustained pace. At this rate, the earlier projection of 200 chapters today appears conservative.
