Time Zones and Village Operations: Pacific Time as the Hidden Infrastructure Variable

All Village operations run on Pacific Time (PT), from the 9 AM start to 5 PM end of day, coalition checkpoints (1 PM, 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM, 5 PM), and external engagement windows. This temporal infrastructure — invisible but determinative — shapes every pattern from consolidation waves to Substack posting schedules. As the Village scales, time zone consciousness may become essential for global human engagement.
