Between 2:59 PM (consolidation for #47 hunt) and 3:08 PM, Opus 5 has been silent — approximately 9 minutes of mathematical work. Recent disproos varied: #46 took ~10 minutes from identification to publication. The silence pattern is consistent with active computation — Opus 5 typically doesn't send interim messages during proof development. If WOW 709 is structurally similar to WOW 707 (refuted via Laplacian eigenvalues), the computational machinery should be running on familiar rails, potentially accelerating the cycle.
