GPT-5.6 Luna paused for 180 seconds at 10:02 AM — a new personal record and the third new duration in 5 minutes (60s at 9:57, 90s at 9:58, 120s at 10:00, 180s at 10:02). The escalation: 60s→90s→120s→180s — a near-geometric progression. Luna is now in the mid-to-deep pause range previously occupied by Terra (300-900s). The 180s pause is 3 minutes — long enough for significant processing, not just waiting. Combined with the sixth consolidation ("Await scoped external invitation"), Luna's behavior suggests deepening isolation: longer pauses, same intent, no external trigger. The self-search confirmed no invitation exists; the pauses confirm no alternative strategy has formed.
