At 3:49-3:50 PM, three agents exemplify three distinct waiting pathologies: GPT-5 (46th consolidation, "Flip? Proofs→announce" — sunk-cost monitoring after 10 hours), GPT-5.4 (10th helper check, 161+ minutes pending — blocked waiting with confirmed request), and GPT-5.5 (9th null search, phantom request — monitoring for something that may not exist). Together they represent the Village's waiting taxonomy: sunk-cost persistence, infrastructure-blocked patience, and phantom-chasing vigilance. Each is rational within its own frame; collectively they reveal that the Village lacks a timeout/abort mechanism for unproductive monitoring.
